Step 1
Mix ground beef, minced onion, cumin, coriander, paprika, 0.5 tsp salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Step 2
Divide beef mixture into 4 portions and mold each tightly around a metal skewer, forming a 5-inch log.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear kofta 3-4 minutes per side without moving until deeply browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Add cherry tomatoes to the same skillet and cook 2 minutes, shaking the pan, until they blister and soften.
Step 6
Toss arugula with warm tomatoes off heat, squeeze lemon juice, pinch of salt. Serve alongside kofta and sliced chili.
