How to make
Lamb Tikki Pitta Pockets
Preheat oven to 175C.
Finely chop onion and finely dice peppers.
Take a large mixing bowl, add the lamb mince, the chopped onion and diced peppers. Then add the freshly chopped coriander and the spices into the bowl also and start combining the tikki mixture together.
Start moulding each tikki by taking a small amount of the tikki mixture from the bowl. Each tikki is about the size of the palm of your hand. Use water to help mould the tikki if needed.
Place each of the moulded tikkis on a baking tray and oven cook the lamb tikkis for 15-18 minutes.
While the lamb tikkis are in the oven, slice the pitta breads in half, so you have a total of 12 pitta pockets.
When the lamb tikkis are cooked, place one in each pitta pocket (add any salad, cheese, mayonnaise as additional fillings to your lamb tikki, as you so wish).
Serve and enjoy!
Remember to Recycle!
All the food packaging in your recipe box, as well as the box itself, is completely recyclable, so make sure you do your part to help save the planet!
To dispose of the ice packs, cut them open and pour the gel down the sink – it's totally nontoxic. In fact, you can even use it to give your houseplants a little boost.
