Description

Grilled lamb kofta is a flavorful and aromatic dish made from ground lamb mixed with spices and herbs. These skewered meat patties are grilled to perfection, offering a juicy and tender bite every time.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g ground lamb
  • 1 small onion, finely grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, grated onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and parsley.
  2. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into elongated patties around skewers.
  4. Brush the patties lightly with olive oil.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  7. Remove from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
