Do you think you could spray these with oil and bake in the oven?

fundj - on page 34 of your TMX manual it says the knead function does not work if the bowl temperature is not under 60^o.  Apparently a buzzer sounds if the temperature is higher but I've never heard it.

Mine's never buzzed either, but sometimes refuses to work because it's too hot.

likewise when the bowl is hot and you need to blitz, the safety feature kicks in and there is a slight delay as it gets to the speed

I used your recipe tonight steaming in the Varoma instead of deep-frying.  May not have been quite Indonesian Meatballs but it was delicious anyway.  I steamed for 40 mins which was just a guess, adding veges in with 15 mins to go.
