Air Fryer Lamb Kofta Kebabs
Description
This recipe mixes ground lamb with a variety of spices including coriander, cumin, turmeric, chili flakes, mixed herbs, and tandoori seasoning to create richly flavored kofta kebabs. The mixture is shaped into thick sausage-like forms and arranged on skewers or directly in the air fryer basket with space between them to ensure even cooking. Air frying at 180°C (360°F) for 16 minutes, turning halfway, cooks the kebabs evenly, crisping the outside while maintaining juicy interiors.
The finished koftas offer a balanced warmth and aromatic profile from the spice blend without excessive heat from chili flakes. Serving suggestions include pairing with favorite dipping sauces or wrapping in flatbreads to complement the spiced lamb texture. This method avoids deep frying while preserving the characteristic texture and appeal of kebabs.
Practical notes include swapping ground lamb for beef or a mix for availability, and that skewers are optional if not available—placing the kebabs spaced in the air fryer basket works well. This flexibility allows easy preparation without specialized equipment. The recipe encourages serving the koftas warm to preserve tenderness and flavor.
