You’ll Need

500g lamb mince
2 large tortilla wraps
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten

For the Spice Mix
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp turmeric
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp chilli flakes

To Finish
Fresh coriander
Lime wedges
Mint yoghurt dip

Optional but Dangerous
Extra green chillies
Extra sambal
Pickled onions

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.

Add the lamb mince, onion, garlic, ginger, vegetable oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, garam masala, salt, black pepper, and chilli flakes into a bowl.

Mix thoroughly until evenly coated.

Air fry the lamb mixture in a foil tray or heatproof dish for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway, until browned and lightly caramelised.

Allow the filling to cool for 2 minutes, then stir through the beaten egg.

Lay the tortilla wraps flat and divide the filling between them.

Fold the sides inward and then fold into square parcels.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil and place the parcels seam-side down inside.

Air fry at 190°C for 8–10 minutes, carefully turning halfway, until deeply golden and crisp.

Finish with coriander, lime wedges, and mint yoghurt dip. Serve immediately while still hot and flaky.

Lad Tip: A proper Murtabak should crunch when you cut into it, then immediately try to spill spicy lamb all over the plate. If it stays neat and tidy, you've probably not put enough filling in.
