Shish kofta is a beloved dish that originates from Middle Eastern cuisine. The word “shish” means skewer in Arabic, while “kofta” refers to seasoned ground meat shaped and cooked on a stick. Typically made with minced lamb, beef, or chicken mixed with onions, garlic, herbs, and spices, shish kofta is grilled on skewers for a juicy, flavorful result.
Historically, shish kebab and its variations like shish kofta have roots in Central Asia and the Middle East.

Today, shish kofta continues to be a cultural favorite, known for its rich taste and traditional preparation.
