Throughout the Middle East, just about every country and region have their own version of Kofta with varying ingredients. It may be called kefta, kifta, kafta, kofta, koobideh, or a myriad of other names. While traditionally they are served more as meatballs, they are often spread out over a skewer and cooked over the open flame.
