Stuffed Paneer Rolls

1.Begin by slicing the paneer into rectangular slabs approximately 1/2 inch thick and about 3 inches long, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.

2.Using a sharp knife, carefully make a horizontal slit in each paneer slab to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.

3.In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chili (if using), roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, red chili powder, garam masala, dried mango powder, black salt, freshly ground black pepper, grated ginger, lemon juice, and finely chopped onion. Mix well to form a fragrant stuffing mixture.

4.Gently stuff each paneer pocket with the prepared herb and spice mixture, pressing lightly to fill completely without breaking the paneer.

5.Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F) for 5 minutes.

6.Arrange the stuffed paneer rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch to allow even air circulation.

7.Air fry the rolls at 180°C for 12-15 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to achieve a light golden color on all sides. The paneer should be soft and slightly browned but not dry.

8.Carefully remove the stuffed paneer rolls from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate.

9.Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an added zest.

10.Enjoy these oil-free, flavorful stuffed paneer rolls as a main dish accompanied by a fresh salad or your favorite chutney.
