Keto Spiced Lamb Kofta + Mint Yogurt

Share This Recipe

Mad Creations Keto Spiced Lamb Kofta + Mint Yogurt is a super easy recipe to knock up and feed the family.  Even better if you have some young apprentices to do all the ball rolling.

You can serve these kofta various ways as I have including using the same mixture in a sausage roll using fathead dough.  I love making these to have in the fridge or freezer for easy meals.  They are great for a quick salad, or wrap using the Cauliflower Wraps with a little yoghurt and salad for a delicious lunch or dinner.  There is something about little spiced meatballs that I just love.

Make these ahead for lunch boxes for a quick and easy lunchtime favourite.  Also fabulous served with some cauli tabouleh, lemon wedges, avocado and a salsa.

I hope you enjoy this very simple and tasty recipe
