- 1/2 Tsp Chaat Masala
- 1 Tsp salt
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 Tbsp Edible Mustard Oil
- 2 Tbsp Oil For Brushing
Instructions
- Cut Paneer, bell peppers and onion into cubes and keep aside.
- Add coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies and cumin seeds into a grinding jar and grind them to a thick paste with the help of little water.
- In a mixing bowl, add ginger garlic paste, yogurt, ground mint coriander paste and mix well. Add coriander powder, red chilli powder, chat masala, tandoori masala, salt and lemon juice to it and mix again.
- Add cubed paneer, bell peppers, and onion to it and mix so that all the pieces are coated in marinade nicely.
- Heat mustard oil till it’s smoking point and add this to the marinade. Mix again, cover and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes.
- Take the skewers and arrange the paneer pieces in between onion and bell pepper pieces. Fill all the skewers like this.
- Line them on a baking tray and roast them in air fryer for 6-7 minutes on 180 degrees temperature. Take the tray out, brush little oil and roast again for 3-4 minutes.
- Take them out and serve them hot with chutneys of your choice.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh coriander and mint give a vibrant flavor. Dry herbs won’t deliver the same freshness.
- Avoid Over-marinating: Paneer can become soft if marinated too long. Stick to 15-20 minutes for the best texture.
- Mustard Oil Heat Check: Heat mustard oil until it smokes, which enhances the flavour and removes its raw aroma.
- Consistent Skewer Placement: Arrange paneer and vegetables with minimal gaps for even cooking and beautiful presentation.
- Keep a Close Eye on Cooking: Air fryers vary, so check at the 5-minute mark. Overcooking may dry out the paneer.
