Place all the Kofta ingredients, except for the meat, in a food processor and blend until combined. Take out half of the mixture and add in half of the meat. Process the mixture until the meat is finely minced, then transfer it to a bowl. Repeat the process with the other half of the mixture and meat, and mix everything together. Refrigerate the mixture until you are ready to use it.(If you do not have a food processor, you can finely dice the onion and mince the garlic, then mix these along with the other ingredients by hand in a large mixing bowl).
Divide the meat mixture into five equal parts. Shape each part into a sausage-like form.
Skewer each sausage-shaped meat through the middle using metal skewers, ensuring they are securely placed on the skewers. Preheat your grill or barbecue to a medium-high heat. Lightly brush the koftas with olive oil.
Place the koftas on the grill and cook for about 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice, crispy exterior. If grilling at home without a traditional grill, you can use a cast-iron griddle heated in the oven to achieve a grilled texture and flavour.
Serve the lamb kofta hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs and accompanied by Kisir (Turkish Tabbouleh) or other side dishes like flatbread, hummus, yogurt dip or tzatziki.
