Add the grated onion, spices, and parsley to the ground beef. Mix well until fully combined. Add the oil last and stir.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes so they don't burn.

Shape the kofta mixture onto the skewers and get them ready for grilling.

Grill over charcoal or on a grill pan. Before grilling, brush the kofta with a little oil. They cook quickly and will be done in a short time.

Serve with grilled vegetables, salads, and pita bread.
