In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Using your hands, mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the lamb.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion around a skewer to form long, oval patties.
Brush each kofta lightly with olive oil to help with grilling.
