Koftas are Indian meatballs and are super easy to make. They're great on their own, but even better with a fresh raita and some pickle. Anjali's koftas can be made in advance and then cooked just when you need them.

  • 1 Patak's Naan Bread, or handful of fresh breadcrumbs

Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. In a food processor whizz the Patak's Naan Bread until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Season with salt and black pepper.
  2. Mix together the lamb mince, naan breadcrumbs, Patak's Balti Paste, spring onions, red chilli, half the chopped coriander and prunes (if using).
  3. Place around 2 tablespoons of the spiced lamb into the palm of your hand and roll into the shape of an over-sized golf ball. Lay on a greased lipped baking tray.
  4. Repeat until all the lamb has been made into koftas - approximately 20. (If you have time, cover and place in the refrigerator for around half an hour).
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes - after 15 minutes drain any fat and water out of the base of the baking tray before turning over and cooking for the remaining cooking time.
  6. In the meantime make the raita by mixing all the ingredients together. Taste and season with salt and sugar.
  7. Once the koftas are cooked through serve with green apple raita and some Patak's Brinjal Pickle on the side.
