Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb / 500 g ground lamb or lamb mince (I used 20% fat)

  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs panko preferred
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F/200°C
  • Meanwhile mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Form meatballs using 2 tablespoons of mixture per meatball. (Note 1)

  1. Wetting your hands with water before forming the balls helps stop the mixture sticking to your hands.
