These lamb koftas are the one recipe that really jumped out at me. They’re simple yet flavourful and making them in the airfryer means that all the excess fats drips off. The only change I made to his recipe, was combining beef and lamb mince. I served mine with my go to easy flatbreads, tahini and green salad for a must repeat dinner.
