Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lamb mince, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried coriander, paprika, currants, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs (about the size of a walnut). Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and grated carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Gently drop the lamb koftas into the simmering broth. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the koftas are fully cooked through.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, corn flour, and egg yolks until smooth.
- Gradually add a few spoonfuls of the hot broth into the yoghurt mixture while continuously whisking. This will temper the yoghurt and prevent it from curdling when added to the soup.
- Slowly add the tempered yoghurt mixture back into the pot, stirring continuously to combine.
- Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes over low heat, ensuring the soup does not come to a boil, until the soup thickens and is heated through.
- Stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley and chopped red hot chili peppers.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the hot yoghurt and lamb kofta soup into serving bowls.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:
- When mixing the kofta ingredients, ensure that the spices are evenly distributed for a well-seasoned mixture.
- To prevent the yogurt from curdling, make sure to temper it by adding a few spoonfuls of the hot soup before fully incorporating it into the pot.
- Fresh parsley adds a vibrant touch and balances the rich flavors, so don't skip it!
- Be cautious with the red hot chili peppers if you prefer a milder soup; you can always adjust the heat to your taste.
And there you have it—a warm and comforting bowl of Yoghurt and Lamb Kofta Soup, perfect for any occasion.
