This air fryer take on traditional grilled kofta combines ground beef with cumin and red pepper flakes. It cooks with little oil for a crisp exterior and juicy center, using much less oil than deep-frying.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the Kofta

10 min

Thoroughly mix the ground beef with the grated onion, crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

2

Shape the Kofta

5 min

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into oval kofta.

3

Cook in the Air Fryer

15 min

Arrange the kofta in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook at 200°C / 390°F for 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until crisp on the outside. If you do not have an air fryer, bake in a preheated oven at the same temperature for about the same amount of time.

Reminder

Arrange the kofta in the basket without overlapping; the sides that touch will steam instead of crisping. If you do not have an air fryer, bake in a preheated 200°C / 390°F oven for about the same amount of time. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and eggs.

Köfteleri biraz kalın yaptığım için 15 dakika yetmedi, 4 dakika daha uzattım ve ortası ancak o zaman piştiğinden emin oldum. İnce şekillendirilirse süre tam yeterli olur sanırım.

Köfteleri tek sıra halinde dizmeye özen gösterince gerçekten her yüzü eşit çıtırlaştı, ortadan çevirmeyi de unutmadım. 15 dakika benim airfryer'ımda tam kıvamındaydı, ortası da güzelce sulu kalmıştı.
