Kofta Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Koftas

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion around a skewer into a long sausage shape. Make sure the mixture is firmly packed onto the skewer.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Koftas

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 70°C (160°F).

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the koftas from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with pita bread, yogurt sauce, or your favorite sides.
