Mix the ground beef with the remaining ingredients (salt, onion, black pepper, etc.). Add the eggs last and mix until the kofta mixture holds together.

Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour to help it firm up.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and tomato and cook until softened.

Add the rice and sauté with the onion and tomato.

Add water and cook the rice until done.

Shape the kofta into your preferred form, either logs or patties.

Thread the kofta onto skewers, alternating with pieces of onion and tomato as desired.

If the kofta mixture is too soft to shape, heat a skillet with a little oil and cook spoonfuls of the mixture briefly before transferring to the oven.

Bake the kofta in the oven using the broiler (top heat only) for 10 to 15 minutes per side on medium heat.

For extra flavor, you can smoke the kofta with charcoal after it's cooked.

Serve with the rice and enjoy!
