Kofta Kebabs

Step 1
Mash garlic into a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a chef's knife on your cutting board.

Step 2
Mix garlic into lamb with onion, parsley, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, ginger, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well blended.

Step 3
Form mixture into 28 balls. Form each ball around the tip of a skewer, flattening it into a 2-inch oval; repeat with remaining skewers. Place kebabs onto a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours.

Step 4
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 5
Cook skewers on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a kebab should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 6
Serve hot and enjoy!
