Notes
Minced meat should always be cold, do not leave it at room temperature, so that it does not fall off the skewer during grilling.
Wooden skewers should be soaked in water for at least an hour.
It is preferable to grill the Egyptian grilled kofta on a charcoal grill, but if you are going to use the regular oven, the temperature must be very high. This is because the low heat will cause the meat to melt and fall off the barbecue skewer.
