In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.
Step 3
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to the beef mixture.

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a long oval or a cylinder-like shape.

Insert a skewer through the length of each kofta, squeezing the meat firmly around the skewer to adhere.
