Crispy Paneer Tikka
Everyone loves paneer tikka. Making it in an air fryer keeps it crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Marinate the paneer and vegetables thoroughly. Place them in the air-fryer basket and bake at 180°C for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.

Masala Cashews
Salted cashews are a great snack for Diwali guests.

Method: Mix a few cashews with a little oil, salt, black pepper powder, chaat masala, and a little garam masala. Spread them out in the air-fryer basket. Fry at 160°C for 5-7 minutes, until they are lightly golden and crispy.

Crispy Ladyfinger
This snack will be a hit with children and adds a healthy twist to your meal.

Method: Wash and dry the ladyfinger and cut it lengthwise down the middle. Add gram flour, rice flour, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric, and salt. Add a little oil and mix well. Bake in the air fryer at 180°C for 10-12 minutes, until crispy.

Crispy Potato Wedges
These potato wedges, which resemble French fries, are delicious and easy to make.
