Using your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Divide the mixture into equal portions and mold each portion around a skewer into a cylindrical shape.

Brush with Olive Oil
Drizzle olive oil over the formed kofta to add flavor and prevent sticking during grilling.
Grilling
- 5
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 180-200°C (350-400°F).
- 6
Grill the Kofta
Place the skewers on the grill, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the meat is nicely browned and cooked through.

Rest and Serve
Remove the kofta from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain their juices.
