Beef Kofte with yoghurt-mint dip
- 700 g beef mince [90% lean]
- 1/3 cup fresh mint
- 1/2 onion [finely chopped]
- 3 garlic clove [minced]
- 4 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons cumin (ground)

- 1 tsp honey [or less - to taste]
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into quarters (keep the skins on - they are very healthy), and boil till soft. Drain and add a little butter, salt and yoghurt into the potatoes. Mash.
- Meanwhile. Pre-heat the oven to grill or maximum heat 240C.
- Gently mix the beef and all the Kofte ingredients in a large bowl. Using moistened hands to help prevent the mixture from sticking, roll about 2 Tablespoons of meat mixture at a time into oblong shapes. Place on a baking sheet, on an oven tray and place in the fridge until ready to grill. Preheat an outdoor grill/braai (see Kitchen Note). Spray the kofte with a non-stick cooking spray and arrange on the grill over a medium high heat. Cook for 15 minutes, turning every 3 minutes or so.
- Mix all dip ingredients together and season well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Place your tray of Beef Kofte under the grill for approx. 6 min on either side or until desired doneness.
- Serve Beef Kofte with mint dip and mashed potatoes.
