Haryali Paneer

No Onion Garlic Air Fried Crispy Haryali Paneer 

 Ingredients 

200 gm Paneer; cut into large pieces 
1 cup fresh coriander leaves 
1 cup spinach
1/4 cup raw sabudana or 2 tbsp arrowroot powder ( read directions) (alternatively use any other starch like cornstarch or rice flour if not making for fast) 
1/4 cup cashews 
1 tsp cumin powder 
1 inch ginger
1-2 green chillies
1 tbsp lemon juice 
Rock salt as required 
1 tbsp oil or ghee (optional) 

Directions 

Cut paneer into large pieces and set aside.

In a mixer jar add coriander leaves, spinach, cashews, sabudana, cumin powder, ginger, green chillis, lemon juice, rock salt and make a smooth paste. If using arrowroot powder instead of sabudana, add it after making the paste.

Transfer this paste to a large bowl. Add oil or ghee (optional) and mix.

Add paneer pieces and coat them with green paste.

Preheat air fryer at 400 F for 5 mins. Place air fryer liner in basket. Transfer Paneer one by one to the basket. Do not over crowd. 

Brush with ghee/oil (optional). 

Cook for 10-15 mins at 400. Flip halfway if required. 

NOTE: Different air fryers have different cooking time. Some may cook fast and some may take longer. In some air fryers you do not need to flip. 
So cook accordingly. My paneers were ready in 12 mins.

Alternatively you can cook in oven or pan. 

Directions for Oven: Preheat Oven to 360 F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Transfer paneer. Do not overcrowd. Bake for 20-25 mins. Flip halfway.

Directions for Pan frying: Heat oil in a pan. Put paneer one by one. Do not overcrowd. Keep flipping till all sides are done. 

Serving Suggestion: Serve with green chutney or tomato chutney. You can also serve with tomato cucumber salad.
