Nargisi kofta, boiled eggs wrapped in spiced mince like Persian jewels. The smell alone sells the dish. Best hot off the grill with cold lassi.

Marinate the ground lamb with the eggs, ginger garlic paste, spices and lemon; refrigerate at least two hours, overnight is better.
2
Soak the skewers, warm the grill, and set a rack close to the heat.
3
Let the marinade drip off; wet surfaces steam instead of char.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
