Ingredients:
Tadka:
3 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
½ cup chopped onions
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 inch piece of ginger chopped
1 green chili chopped (optional)
1 cup tomatoes chopped
Paneer:
1 block of paneer chopped into cubes
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
½ tablespoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon coriander powder
½ tablespoon deghi mirch or paprika
½ cup onion chopped into petals
½ cup each red and green bell pepper chopped into petals
Directions:
- Marinate paneer cubes with oil and all the spices listed. While it rests, move onto the tadka/tempering.
- Make a tadka in the air fryer using all the listed ingredients. To do this - Add all of your tadka ingredients to an oven-safe cooking pan that fits in your air fryer and cook at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes.
- Once the tadka is ready, add in the paneer, onions, and bell peppers to the dish. Mix well and cook for another 8 minutes in the air fryer. Take it out at 4 minutes and mix.
- Finish with a squeeze of lime and some chopped cilantro.
Hot Tip:
To cook sabzi style dishes in the air fryer, chop things a little smaller than you would for stovetop cooking. In this preparation, I cut the bell peppers and onions smaller than usual.
