Makes 6-8 wraps
This seems like a lot of ingredients but I promise you that this dish doesn’t take long to create and that’s because we’re not actually making koftas but rather enjoying the flavours without all that work! If you don’t fancy a wrap serve with on top of few fresh leaves such as lambs lettuce, spinach, watercress and rocket.6-

- Meanwhile measure out the cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon and chilli powder into a largish bowl.

- Chop up your leftover roast leg of lamb and add to the spices. If you are using mince then add this to the spices.
