  • 3 tablespoons tomato purée

  • 4 tablespoons cold water

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon Hot Chilli Powder

  • ¼ teaspoon Mint Herb

  • For the Koftas:

  • 225 grams (8 ounces) aubergine, finely diced

  • 50 grams (2 ounces) fresh breadcrumbs

  • 2 teaspoons tomato purée

  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin

  • 1 teaspoon Ground Allspice

  • 1 teaspoon Hot Chilli Powder

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1 To prepare the dip, place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer gently for 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
  • 2 To prepare the koftas, heat the oil and fry the aubergine until soft. Drain and cool. Combine the lamb with the breadcrumbs, tomato purée, Cumin, Allspice, Chilli Powder and Salt. Stir in the aubergine and mix thoroughly.
