Air Fryer Paneer Curry

Step 1

First, make the sauce. Place the tomatoes (cut side up) and the onion in a small pan within the frying basket. Cook at 160C for about 25mins until soft and a little charred. Add garlic, ginger, butter and spices and mix through. Cook for another 5 mins. Then puree everything with the cream, either in the dish with an immersion blender or by transferring everything to a food processor. (If you are transferring to puree, put it back in the pan when you're finished). Cover and set aside.

Step 2

Toss the paneer cubes with a little olive oil and a sprinkling of smoked paprika, then place in the air fryer (directly in the air fryer basket - not in the dish you cooked the sauce ingredients in). Turn up the heat to 200C and cook for about 10 minutes, until it's all browned.

Step 3

Add the paneer cubes to the sauce and return the pan to the air fryer for 3-5 minutes or so, until everything is nicely warmed up,

Step 4

Serve with rice and/or naan.
