They're very yummy. Kefta (aka 'koftas', here in the UK) are a bit
like sausage, I guess... or glorified meatballs on a stick! I like cumin
and garlic with a little mint if I'm using lamb and I prefer a
tomato-based sauce to a yoghurt one, but that's just down to taste.

Msemen can be filled with all sorts of things and even made into
something sweet! They're nice with a brown sugar-butter-semolina filling
or with pureed dates. They're meant to be a bit like the texture of
parathas, though, so I don't think pitas would work... they're a little
hard and not bready enough. I'd sub flour tortillas, if anything,
because you can get closer to the right texture when you're frying them.
