For the Lamb Kofta Skewers:

To start, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a large bowl, mix together the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, parsley, mint, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper until well combined. Divide the mixture into 8-10 portions and shape each portion into a sausage shape around a skewer.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and slightly charred.
While the lamb is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing together the Greek yogurt, mint, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Once the lamb is cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and serve with the yogurt sauce on the side.
