Air fryers have changed the way we cook because they make getting the cooked taste we love faster, cleaner, and easier, without having to deal with a lot of hot oil. You’re more likely to try new recipes like these crispy rolls often because they are so easy to make.

Let’s dive into the details of this delectable recipe, perfect for gatherings, Ramadan evenings, or simply when you’re in the mood for a tantalizing snack.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg boneless chicken, cut into small pieces for easier handling and better seasoning coverage.
- 2 tbsp yogurt, which acts as a tenderizer, ensuring your chicken stays moist and tender.
- 1/2 tbsp salt, or to taste, to bring out the natural flavors of your ingredients.
- 1 tbsp tikka masala, adding a vibrant layer of spice that is quintessential to the dish’s signature taste.
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, for a hint of zest that cuts through the richness.
- Turkish green chili, finely chopped, to introduce a subtle heat that can be adjusted according to personal preference.
- 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese, for that irresistible melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise, to bind the mixture together, adding a creamy texture.
- Spring roll sheets, the crispy exterior that wraps the delicious filling.
- A light spray of oil for air frying, ensuring your rolls turn out perfectly golden without being drenched in grease.
Instructions:
- Marinate Your Chicken: Combine the chicken with yogurt, salt, tikka masala, lemon juice, and Turkish green chili. Let this marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse the meat with these robust flavors.
- Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (about 400°F). Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray a light coat of oil over the chicken to encourage a golden finish. Air fry for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a slight crisp to its exterior.
- Prepare the Filling: Allow the cooked chicken to cool slightly before chopping it into smaller bits. Mix in the mozzarella cheese and mayonnaise, creating a creamy, cohesive filling for your rolls.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spoon the chicken mixture onto each spring roll sheet, fold neatly to encase the filling securely, and roll tightly to avoid any leaks during the final cooking stage.
- Cooking the Rolls: While traditional recipes call for deep frying, you can either continue using the air fryer for a healthier option or bake them in an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F) until golden and crispy, approximately 10-15 minutes. If using the air fryer, ensure the rolls are not touching and may require cooking in batches for even crispness.
