046: LAMB KOFTA

Lamb Kofta — The Flame-Sculpted Offering of Spice and Shadow

“Each kofta is a promise. Each char is a vow. The lamb remembers.”

🪔 What Is Kofta?

A kofta is a **spiced meat sculpture** — formed by hand, cooked by flame,
and served with reverence. Originating from **Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian** culinary scrolls,
this **lamb kofta** blends **aromatics, herbs, and spice codes** into a portable, primal feast.
Served with dips, flatbreads, or alone on sacred skewers.

• Meat: Grass-fed lamb (20% fat preferred)
• Spice Base: Cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon
• Herbs: Mint, parsley, garlic
• Texture: Tender, crisped outside, molten within

🔥 Ingredients (Sacred Binding)

• 1 lb ground lamb
• 1/2 small red onion, finely grated or minced
• 2 cloves garlic, grated
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley + 1 tbsp chopped mint

• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp paprika + pinch cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp sea salt + black pepper

⚔️ Cooking Ritual

1. Mix all ingredients gently — don’t overwork the lamb
2. Form into logs or balls (skewer or pan-ready)
3. Rest 15 minutes chilled (to hold sacred shape)
