Ingredients:
- 1 ½ pounds (680 g) ground lamb
- 1 egg
- ½ cup (120 ml) chopped cilantro
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) onion powder
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper
- Vegetable oil, for grilling
Special Equipment:
- Long wooden skewers, soaked
Method:
Preheat the grill to medium-high.
In a large bowl combine the lamb, egg, cilantro, onion powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Divide the mixture into 6 portions, roughly 4-ounces (113 g) each. Shape the portions into long, thick sausages. Insert a skewer through each kofta and squeeze the meat onto the skewer. They should be roughly 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick.
Brush the koftas with oil.
Place the koftas on the grill and cook for 12-14 minutes, turning halfway.
Serve immediately.
