Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 250 gm Cottage Cheese or Paneer
  • 1 cup Bellpepper or Capsicum I used Red Yellow and Green Colours together
  • 1 Onion Chopped into cubes
  • 1 cup Yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Besan Flour
  • 2 tsp Red Chilli powder
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Pepper Powder
  • ¼ tsp Turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp Cardamom Powder
  • ½ tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tbsp Ginger garlic paste
  • ½ tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Kasoori Methi or Dried Fenugreek leaves
  • 1 tsp Amchur Powder or Dry Mango Powder Optional
  • 1 tsp Chaat Masala Optional

Instructions 

  • In a mixing bowl add the yogurt. Beat well until creamy.
  • Add Besan flour and Finger garlic paste.
  • Next, add in all the spice powders and Lemon Juice. I am using Red Chilli Powder, Turmeric powder, Garam Masala, Cardamom Powder, Pepper Powder, and Cumin Powder. Add Chaat masala if you prefer and some salt.
  • Also, add the dried fenugreek leaves ( Kasoori Methi ).
  • Whisk everything together. Check for salt and spice and add more now if required.
  • Next, add the Cubed bell pepper or Capsicum. I am using Red, Yellow, and Green Coloured ones. You can also add any one color. Also, add in the cubes onions and Paneer Cubes.
  • Next, add in the Paneer or Cottage Cheese Cubes.
  • Combine everything gently Such that the masala coats evenly over the Paneer, onions, and Bell pepper. Refrigerate this for 2 hours if you can. This helps the masala get deeper and everything cooks tender and easily.
  • Next, take the skewers. Keep it immersed in boiling water for 10 mins. Insert the marinated Paneer Slices, Onion, and bell peppers alternatively inside the Skewers.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 200 C / 400 F for 5 mins. Spray or brush oil in the air fryer baskets and place the skewers in the basket.
  • Air fry at 190 c for 12 mins. Flip once halfway.
  • Airfryer Paneer Tikka is now ready.
