Instructions
- Pre-heat the air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes.

- Next, take a lump of the prepared mixture and place it in the air fryer basket. Continue making as many lumps as you can. Make sure to not make them too large otherwise they won’t get cooked at the center.
- Spray a bit of oil on them, and cook them at 400°F for 10-15 minutes.
- You can flip them once in between and brush some oil so that they are cooked well.
- For the tamarind chutney, blend everything together in a blender. Adjust salt and tamarind if required.
