Cold weather kofta?
I was given lamb kofta in my CSA share. It is spiced with coriander, cumin, garlic, paprika, and ginger.
I have limited experience with Middle Eastern cuisine, and I've always thought of it almost exclusively as warm-weather food. I can't wrap my head around a dish suitable for the 15-degree day we're having in NYC right now. Any ideas?

I agree with the other post - there is no hard and fast rule about which dish is appropriate for a certain time or temperature. Our notions about “cold / hot weather dishes” are based on what culture we grew up with and to a large extent on what was in season, available or could be preserved.
But if the idea of cooking the lamb now goes against your personal preferences, put it in the freezer and cook it at a time you are more comfortable with it. It’s spiced meat, it should easily keep in the freezer until summer.
There are plenty of parts of the Middle East where it gets pretty chilly, snowy etc. when it's wintertime. I suppose the citizens there must have options in their cuisine to cover all times of the year.
If it's meaty, filling, and hot, and especially if it takes a long time cooking (heating up the house), wouldn't any dish be suitable for 15 degree weather?
