Prepare the Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.

Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and breadcrumbs.

Crack the egg into the mixture and add paprika, ground cumin, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is slightly sticky.

Shape the Kyufte

Divide the meat mixture into 8-10 portions.

Shape each portion into oval or round patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Cook the Kyufte

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil.
