Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 pounds freshly ground lamb
1 onion, grated
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seed
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Dash cinnamon
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander or parsley

Steps:

Put the lamb in a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly. If the lamb is not properly mixed, the kofta will fall apart on the skewer.
Form the lamb into small patties about the size of a walnut. Mold the patties tightly around a long skewer so they form small oval shapes. Four or five will fit on a skewer.
Heat a broiler or charcoal coals and when hot, grill the kofta, turning once, until they are golden brown, for about 6 minutes.
