3. 3Add the olive oil to a large frying pan on a medium heat.
4. 4Fry the koftas for 10–15 minutes or until they are brown on both sides and cooked through. Alternatively, sear the koftas quickly in a really hot ovenproof pan and transfer to the oven, preheated to 430 °F (220 °C) for 7 for 10 minutes.
