Notes
Note 1 - Lamb Mince
This recipe would also work well with beef mince, or even turkey mince if you're trying to cut down your fat intake.
Note 2 - Garlic Powder
I really like using a good quality garlic powder instead of fresh garlic in this recipe, as it distributes through the meat and dip really evenly.
Note 3 - Greek Yoghurt
Full fat or lower fat is fine, it'll just be slightly less creamy if you use low fat.
