Bring the BBQ vibes indoors with this BBQ-Style Air Fryer Paneer recipe! Soft and juicy paneer chunks are marinated with colorful bell peppers, creamy yogurt, and aromatic spices—then air-fried to perfection in just 10 minutes. This is a quick, healthy, and protein-rich snack that’s perfect for weeknights, parties, or when you’re craving smoky tandoori flavors without firing up the grill.

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, add yogurt, red chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, and turmeric. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
Add paneer cubes and bell pepper pieces. Gently coat them with the marinade.
Preheat the air fryer to 170°C (340°F).
Arrange the paneer and bell peppers in the air fryer basket (you can skewer them for that BBQ look).
Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking halfway for even cooking.
Serve hot with mint chutney or a tangy yogurt dip.
