For the toddler, serve plain kofta pieces and plain eggplant slices with a side of yogurt or ketchup.

Recipe

1

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes.

2

In a bowl, combine ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well and shape into 8 small oval koftas.

child_care Set aside a small portion of plain lamb before adding spices for the toddler.
3

Slice the eggplant into 1cm rounds. Brush both sides with olive oil. Place koftas and eggplant in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 200°C for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.

child_care Place toddler's plain lamb koftas in a separate corner of the basket to avoid spice contact.
