In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, parsley, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long, cylindrical kofta (about 6 inches long).
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the kofta onto the skewers.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grill the kofta for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely browned. If baking, place skewers on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through.
Serve hot with your favorite sides like rice, salad, or pita bread.
Notes
These kofta kebabs are versatile and can be seasoned with other spices like paprika or chili powder for an extra kick.
