Rinse the basmati rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice simmers, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and half the salt in a mixing bowl. Mix with your hands until just combined, then form into 4 oval patties about 1 inch thick.
Coat a 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for 4 minutes more until the centers are opaque and reach the safe temperature. Done when opaque in the center, 160°F.
While the beef cooks, toss the diced cucumber and halved cherry tomatoes with the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and the remaining salt in a small bowl.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place it in a shallow bowl. Arrange the beef kofta and the cucumber salad alongside the rice.
