  If, like me, you're not too keen on spicy - the recipe for koftas that I originally worked from had a load less spice, but used lemon juice. It also had bread crumbs, I think - but I haven't used them for years. However, the lemon juice (lime juice works well too) adds an extra dimension. Maybe that's the kick that spice-eaters get! I don't know. I usually serve with salads and mayo.

  I made these for a load of people in a kitchen with only a hob and a George Foreman grill and they worked brilliantly! I added mint into the burgers as well as coriander and used chilli powder instead of chilli sauce. They were absolutely delicious and so easy to do. Highly recommended.

  This was really tasty and simple to make. The flavours in the lamb burger weren't too spicy either. Have made these several times, they are especially good as you can freeze left overs and save time when your in a hurry!

  Lovely stuff, although the burgers were a little dry when I made them, although I'm sure this is my own fault! Used Cayenne instead of Paprika and gave it a great kick, also a bit of sweet chilli sauce on top was awesome.

  These were really good, used my little processor to whizz up the onions and garlic rather than grate them, also mis-read the recipe and used sweet chilli sauce rather than chilli sauce, but worked really well. Now have a freezer full of them ready for the BBQ

  Made these tonight and I used half the amount of Lamb and then made the quantity up with cooked Quinoa (any which way to get grains in is our motto) I also spread the Kofta mix out across a baking tray and Grilled it so it was more like Donner kebab meat - the result was fantastic, Hubby, kids (8yr and 1yr) and myself all loved them. All in all a healthier version of a Donner Kebab and WAY WAY WAY more tasty. All in all a cheap and VERY tasty meal. Will Definitely be making our own Donner Kebabs in future.

  Considering the short list of ingredients, these burgers were very tasty indeed. I cut down on the amount of garlic, as it seems a little excessive, but found they were lacking a certain something! Still a very quick, tasty supper for a group.
