Kofta Kebabs - Grilled Meatball on a Stick - Food Wishes

ground lamb

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground beef is often more affordable.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier with a higher smoke point.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with more protein.

pita bread

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pita

💰Cheaper: flatbread

Whole wheat pita provides more fiber.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Mix ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined.

Form the mixture into long, oval-shaped patties around the soaked skewers.

Drizzle olive oil over the kebabs to prevent sticking.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with warm pita bread, yogurt, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
