Method

  • step 1

    Tip the cashews into a food processor and blitz until finely chopped. Tip into a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients with 1 tsp salt, except the oil. Mix well and bring together into a ball. Divide into bite-size portions and shape into around 20 balls, pressing them tightly.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a deep pan no more than two thirds full or a deep-fat fryer. Once hot – it's around 170C when a cube of bread turns golden in about 30 seconds – carefully add the koftas to the oil and fry for 2 mins until golden brown. You will need to do this in batches. Remove using a slotted spoon and transfer to a kitchen paper-lined plate. Serve them hot with coriander chutney or chilli oil, if you like.

question

Can these be air fried?

Hello we haven't tested this recipe in the air-fryer. You could try brushing the koftas with oil and air frying for 15-20 mins at 190C. This is an estimate though so it would be a case of trial and error. Thanks for your question - Good Food Team
