Grate the onion and gently squeeze out some of its juice.
Knead the ground beef with the bread crumb, onion, garlic, baking soda, and spices.
Knead the mixture for 12 minutes until it becomes sticky.
Rest the kofte mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Shape the mixture into thin, long koftes.
Grill the koftes on a very hot grill for 10-12 minutes total, turning them as they cook.
💡 Tip: Resting the kofte mixture for at least 1 hour lets the spices season the meat deeply.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with piyaz, roasted peppers, and mustard-free potato salad.
