Preparing Koftas
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, cilantro, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Mix the ingredients until well combined, forming a slightly sticky mixture.
- With wet hands, form the mixture into oval-shaped patties or skewers, about 1 inch thick.
Cooking Koftas
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, greasing grates with oil.
- Place the koftas on the grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Preparing Yogurt Sauce
- In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with fresh lemon juice and finely chopped dill or mint.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serving
- Once koftas are cooked, let them rest briefly before serving alongside the yogurt sauce.
