🧂 Ingredients

• 1 lb Paneer

  about 450g
• 1 Tbsp. Cooking Oil
• 1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
• 2 Tbsps. Water
• 2 Tbsps. Yogurt
• 2 Tbsps. Kashmiri Red Chili Powder

  or any other Red Chili Powder
• ½ Tsp Turmeric Powder
• ½ Tsp Garam Masala
• ½ Salt
• 1 Tbsp. Curry leaves

  chopped
• 1 Tbsp. Garlic

  minced
• 1 Tbsp. Ginger

  grated
• 1 Tsp Cumin Powder
• 1 Tsp Coriander Powder
• 2 Tbsp. Corn Starch
• 1 Tbsp. Rice Flour
• ¼ Cup Fresh Cilantro
• 1 Tbsp. Cooking Oil
• ½ Tbsp. Cumin Seeds
• 1 Tbsp. Garlic

  minced
• 1 Tbsp. Ginger

  grated
• 2 Red Dried Chilies

  whole
• 5 Curry leaves
• ¼ Cup Fresh Cilantro

Instructions

• 1 Cut the Paneer pieces into bite size pieces
• 2 In a large mixing bowl, add the Paneer pieces along with all the dry spices and
  mix so the each Paneer piece is coated with the spice mix on all side. Then add
  the Corn Starch and Rice Flour and coat all pieces. This will form a dry layer
  for the wet ingredients to adhere to. Now add the Oil, Lemon Juice, and Yogurt
  and combine. Add a little water at a time just until it comes together to form a
  light batter.
• 3 In an Air Fryer, line the bottom of the fryer basket with parchment paper, and
  spray it with cooking spray. Place the battered Paneer pieces on top of the
  parchment paper and spray additional cooking spray to coat the top of the Paneer
  for crispier results. Air fry at 350 for 15 minutes turning the pieces half-way.
  Should result in a crispy golden exterior.
• 4 With the Paneer fried, we can temper. Heat a Wok over medium heat, and add Oil.
  Once the oil is hot, add the Cumin Seeds, Dried Red Chilies, Ginger, and Garlic.
  Sauté for 1 minutes and then add the Curry leaves. Sauté the Curry Leaves only
  lightly, and then add the Fried Paneer pieces. Stir fry the Paneer pieces to
  coat with the tempering mixture, and then add and mix fresh Cilantro just before
  taking it off the stove.
• 5 Serve immediately, and top it with Chat Masala, more Cilantro, and a squeeze of
  lime as needed.
