Introduce the recipe and ingredients.

Use lamb mince with 20% fat for better texture.

Prepare spices: half a teaspoon each of ground black pepper, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, and smoked paprika; one teaspoon each of oregano and coriander; and a teaspoon of Himalayan salt.

Add a whole lightly sautéed onion and a handful of chopped parsley to the mixture.

Incorporate all spices and ingredients before adding the lamb mince.

Add the lamb mince carefully to avoid over mixing, using a squeezing motion to combine ingredients without toughening the meat.

Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 4 hours to let it set.

Prepare metallic skewers (flat type) for the koftas.

Wet hands to prevent sticking, take half a handful of lamb mixture, roll it into a cylindrical shape, and press onto the skewer.

Ensure the mixture sticks to the skewer by squeezing it down and using water as needed.

Repeat the process until all koftas are formed and secured on skewers.

Let the skewers sit for about 10 minutes before cooking.

Preheat the barbecue for 20 minutes before cooking the koftas.

Cook the koftas on the barbecue until done, ensuring they come off the skewers neatly.
