In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes. Mix well using your hands until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Shape the mixture into small oblong patties or cylindrical shapes, approximately 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width. You should be able to make about 12-15 koftas with this mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the koftas in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the koftas for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
Remove the koftas from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the gluten-free lamb koftas warm with a side of gluten-free flatbreads, salad, or a yogurt dipping sauce.
