In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley, mint, and salt until smooth. Refrigerate while you prepare the patties.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, garlic, parsley, mint, rosemary, lemon zest, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed, but stop as soon as the mixture is uniform — overworking the meat will tighten the texture.
