- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 30 grams, chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 grams Greek yogurt

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spatula until well combined.
With damp hands, shape the mixture into small, oblong koftas, approximately 2-3 inches in length.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the koftas in batches, cooking for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
While the koftas are cooking, prepare the yogurt dip.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, chopped mint, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
Once the koftas are cooked, remove them from the skillet and drain on paper towels if needed.
Serve the lamb koftas hot with the prepared mint yogurt dip on the side.
