Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using, to prevent them from burning during grilling.

  3. Take a small portion of the lamb mixture and mold it around the skewers, forming an elongated shape about 4-5 inches long and 1 inch thick. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Place the koftas on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
  6. Serve the lamb koftas hot, accompanied by a side of yogurt sauce or a fresh salad.

Tips

  • You can add a touch of spice to the koftas by including a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper in the mix.
  • If you prefer, you can also bake the koftas in the oven at 375°F for about 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
