This hunk of boneless lamb is going to be marinated, then seared quickly before adding to my air fryer and cooked with some potatoes. In India, this preparation of meat is called Raan. Typically we either cook it over a spit, in the oven or wrapped in foil over a BBQ.

With my new Ninja Foodie being large enough to accommodate it, I decide to create my original Raan recipe in the foodie.
