Kofta kabob is prepared with a mixture of ground beef or lamb, mixed with ground onion, parsley, salt, and pepper. Sometimes eggs or breadcrumbs are added as a binder. Kofta Kabob is usually grilled over charcoal. Doner kebab, on the other hand, is prepared on a spit, similar to gyros. It consists of similar ingredients, the main difference being the manner in which it is cooked.
