Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Add the lamb mince, grated onion, garlic, mint, parsley, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, chilli flakes, and olive oil to a large bowl.
Mix thoroughly until fully combined.
Divide into 8 equal portions.
Shape around metal or soaked wooden skewers into long sausage-shaped koftas.
Place the skewers into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through.
Cook until browned on the outside with lightly charred edges while remaining juicy inside.
For extra smokehouse colour, give them a final 2-minute blast at 205°C.
Allow to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve with flatbreads, garlic yoghurt, pickled onions, or chilli sauce.
