Step 1

Add sifted flour into a bowl with seasoning and add yogurt. Mix with a spoon, bring dough together and add 2-3 tbsp of water to bring into a soft ball. If the dough is too dry, add some water and if it’s too wet, add a little more flour. Keep kneading until soft.

Step 2

Roll into a ball, flatten a little and divide into eight equal pieces. 

Step 3

Squish each equal piece into a flat small pancake and then add some cheese and pinch together to form small balls. 

Top tip: Optional: Sprinkle some seeds on top and press down.

Step 4

Brush with melted butter 

Step 5

Air fry for 8-10 minutes at 180c. Rotate and check halfway, then brush the other side with butter.

Step 6

In a small frying pan, add 1.5 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp olive oil, one large clove of garlic, ¾ tsp of smoked paprika, dry parsley and chilli flakes. Cook until fragrant for two minutes. Remove from the heat and finish with a handful of freshly chopped coriander.

Step 7

Once cooked, position balls in a bowl and pour over sauce, keep some for dipping too.
