Notes
These koftes freeze well both cooked and uncooked.
For best results, freeze them uncooked: shape and place on a tray lined with baking paper, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag or container. Cook straight from frozen at 200°C/180°C fan for around 25–30 minutes, or until cooked through.
Cooked koftes can also be frozen once cooled—just reheat in the oven until piping hot throughout.

Delish. Kids loved these too! Did have harissa so used some tomato paste and small amount of chilli sauce. Served with rice and salad
These are brilliant! Very easy to make and great taste. We had them on flatbreads with baba ganoush and tomato/cucumber/red onion. Cooked in the airfryer in just 15 minutes.
