Pour the water over the bulgur wheat in a medium-size bowl just until covered. Mix and set aside for 15-20 minutes. Next, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large frying pan over low to medium heat.
In the 2 small-diced onions and brown stirring occasionally, which takes about 20 minutes. Turn the heat to high and add in the ground lamb and cook until lightly browned and cooked through out.
Add in the ground lamb, spices, fresh herbs, and salt, and pulse on high speed until it becomes smooth. Dip your hands in water and grab about a golf ball size of the processed meat and form a ball.
