Steps

1.Prepare kofta mix: In a bowl combine ground mutton, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, chili flakes, salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2.Shape into 6–8 oblong patties (about golf-ball sized) for 2 servings. Chill briefly (5 minutes) if mixture feels very soft.
3.Make sauce: Whisk yogurt, tahini, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; set aside.
4.Heat skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Fry kofta 3–4 minutes per side until well browned and cooked through (internal temp ~70°C/160°F) — total 8–10 minutes depending on thickness.
5.While kofta cooks, toss diced cucumber and tomato with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp lemon juice and a pinch of salt to make the quick salad.
6.Warm pitas in a dry skillet or oven for 1–2 minutes each.
7.To serve: Place kofta on plates with pita, dollop yogurt-tahini sauce over or beside, add salad and garnish with parsley or mint.
