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

Start by grating 1 onion and drain excess water.

Reserve the onion to use later.

In a mixing bowl add ground beef, onions, garlic, fresh parsley, tomato sauce and all spices.

Mix together with your hand until evenly combined.

Start to shape your koftas kebabs by taking a fistful portion of the meat mixture and start to mold it on a wooden skewer. Pat the kofta with the onion water for extra flavor. Remember to leave your wooden skewers in water overnight.

Place them on a tray.

Grill koftas in the oven or on the grill for 15 minutes.

Baste before removing them from the grill.

Place all koftas in a foil dish and place butter in the middle and place 1 burning coal inside the butter. Close the foil dish with foil for 5 minutes. This is going to smoke them nicely.
