Ingredients
- soya granules150 g
- potato1 medium
- garlic2 cloves
- garam masala1 tsp
- coriander leaves3 tbsp
- gram flour2 tbsp
Method
Soak
Soak the soya granules in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and squeeze them fully dry. Pressing out the water is important, because damp granules make a wet mix that will not hold on the skewer or crisp up outside.
Mix
Boil and mash the potato, then mix it with the soya, grated garlic, garam masala, coriander, salt and gram flour. The mashed potato and gram flour bind everything so the koftas stay firm and do not slide off the skewers.
Shape
Press the mixture into logs around the skewers and firm them with your hands. Squeeze the mix on tightly with no air gaps, because a well-packed kofta holds its shape and cooks evenly instead of cracking apart.
Brush
Brush the koftas lightly all over with oil for even browning. A thin film of oil helps the dry surface colour into a golden, slightly crisp crust rather than staying pale and powdery from the gram flour.
Air fry
Cook at 185°C for 18 min, turning the skewers once halfway so every side browns evenly. The koftas are ready when they feel firm to the touch and have turned an even golden brown all over the surface.
