Spiced Lamb Koftas

What is it?

Seasoned lamb mince is shaped into koftas and frozen, ready to cook from chilled or defrosted. Sainsbury’s versions of this style usually sit in the savoury end of the range, closer to meatballs than burgers, with a denser, hand-formed texture and a spice mix that leans on warm aromatics rather than heat. Common seasonings here include cumin, coriander and paprika, though exact blends can vary. They’re typically cooked through in the oven or pan, then served as part of a meal rather than on their own.
