Ingredients
- 100 gm paneer ½ cup paneer or 12 cubes of paneer
- 1 teaspoon Garlic butter
- 1 teaspoon red chilly powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon pink salt
- 1-2 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- While you preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5-8 min, you may wash paneer and remove excess water. Chop it into equal sized cubes. Not very thick not very thin.In a large bowl, add spices, salt and oil. Mix well. Coat Paneer cubes with the spices.
- Place the coated and seasoned paneer pieces in the air fryer basket. Make sure to arrange them in a single layer without overcrowding for even cooking. Let the paneer air fry for about 8-10 min while shaking the basket or flipping the paneer halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
- The paneer should turn golden brown and crispy on the outside. The exact cooking time might vary depending on your air fryer model and paneer size.
- The crispy golden Air Fryer Fried Paneer is ready. Top it with chopped cilantro, and lemon juice for extra flavor boost.
Notes
- Cut the paneer into uniform pieces of medium thickness. This ensures even cooking and a balance of texture.
- Preheat the air fryer for a few minutes before placing the paneer inside. This helps make crispy paneer cubes.
- You may grease the air fryer basket with little oil so that paneer cubes don't stick to it.
- Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation, resulting in even cooking.
- Don't marinade for very long as paneer when coated with salt would leave water and excessive moisture won't make it crispy.
- Follow the instructions for your model of Air Fryer.
