Although these little bites have many different ingredients, they are also very easy to put together.
First mix all the dry spices together in a small bowl.
Next, add the 2 lbs. of ground lamb to a large bowl. Add slightly beaten egg, 2 Tbsp. yogurt and very gently, but thoroughly mix with your hands. Like any meatball, you do not want to overmix as the meat can become tough.
Next, place your zester over the bowl and grate the onion and garlic. This is much easier than it sounds.
Mix in the spices, and again, using your hands mix the spices thoroughly throughout the meat mixture.
Form the meat into cylindrical, football shapes and place on a platter. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
The morning of your dinner, place a skewer through the center (long-wise) of each Kofta. Place the skewers on a platter and keep in the fridge, uncovered, until ready to grill.
Grill over either charcoal, wood or gas until they have a nice crisp, but are still medium rare inside-about 10 minutes altogether rotating as they cook to get all sides nicely browned.
Serve with the Lemony Yogurt Sauce at room temperature.
