    3 Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Taking care, place koftas, in a single layer, in the basket; at 180˚C/350˚F, cook for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking time, until browned and cooked through.
    4 Meanwhile, to make green tahini, combine yoghurt, tahini, lemon juice and remaining chopped mint and parsley in a small serving bowl.
    5 To make tomato salad, combine tomatoes, cucumber, mint and parsley on a platter; drizzle with oil and season.
    6 Add koftas and green tahini to platter; serve with grilled pitta bread.
