Combine ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Form the mixture into oval-shaped patties or skewers.

Preheat the grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Brush the grill or skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Place the koftas on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Remove the koftas from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining yogurt, lemon juice, and diced cucumber in a bowl.

Serve the koftas with pita bread and the yogurt sauce on the side.

Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
