Air Fryer Green Bean Chips

lbs green beans,

canola oil

salt,

black pepper,

tsp amchur powder

tsp chili powder

In a large bowl, combine oil, salt, pepper, amchur, and chili powder.

Toss in green beans and coat evenly.

Preheat your air fryer to 270 degrees.

Place batches of green beans on your fryer basket and air fry for 10-15 minutes. Or until chips are mostly crisp. They will still have a tiny bit of softness to them that will be gone as they cool.

Cool without covering until completely crisp, approximately 3-4 hrs.

Serve or store in an airtight container.

Paneer Tikka Masala is a popular Indian curry where spiced and grilled paneer tikka is added to a creamy curry. It is best enjoyed with warm naan!

Paneer Tikka Masala

& 1/2 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

coriander powder

Kashmiri red chili powder (for color)

red chili powder (or to taste)

lime (juice of)

paneer

onion

green pepper

butter (divided, unsalted

cumin seeds

cinnamon stick

white onion (roughly chopped, around 150 grams)

garlic

ginger (chopped)

tomatoes (roughly chopped, around 400 grams)

Kashmiri red chili powder (divided (for color, not hot))

salt (or

sugar (I used granulated white sugar)

water (or more as needed)

heavy cream (30-45 ml)

cilantro

We will start by making the paneer tikka. To a large bowl, add thick yogurt, make sure the yogurt is thick (if using regular homemade yogurt, drain the yogurt for 3 to 4 hours before using in the recipe or use Greek yogurt).

To that add ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, garam masala, Kashmiri red chili powder, red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and juice of 1/2 lime.Using a spatula or whisk, mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

Now add cubed paneer, onion (quartered and separated into petals) and green pepperMix until the paneer, onion and peppers are well coated with the marinade. You can use your hands here. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes at the least.

Meanwhile, let&#39;s work the curry part of this recipe. Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and cinnamon stick.

Let the seeds sizzle and then add white onion (roughly chopped), chopped garlic cloves and chopped ginger. Stir and cook for around 5 to 6 minutes until onions turn light golden brown in color, stir often in between.

Then add the roughly chopped tomatoes along with curry powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste) and sugar. Stir and cook the tomatoes for 7 to 8 minutes until soft and completely cooked. This step is important so do not rush this step.

Once the tomatoes are completely cooked, remove the pan from heat. Let it cool down a bit and then remove the cinnamon stick and transfer everything to a blender and blend to a fine paste. Set this aside.

Back to the tikka now, take the marinated paneer out of the refrigerator. Now, you can cook this in a pan or grill or in your oven. I have used a grill pan that I had. Spray the pan with oil and then add the marinated paneer, onions and bell peppers on the pan.Cook until the paneer turns light golden brown in color and onions and peppers are slightly cooked, turning them few times in between for even cooking. Now it&#39;s time to bring the curry together.Oven instruction: arrange tikka on skewers and bake at 450 F degrees for 10 minutes and then broil for 2 to 3 minutes to get it browned (optional).

Now put the pan back on medium heat and add the pureed paste to it that we had prepared earlier. You can also add remaining 1/4 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder at this point if you prefer a brighter color of the curry.

Add 1 cup water (or more depending on how much gravy you want), and stir well. Then add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cream and chopped cilantro. Mix and let it cook for 2 minutes.

Add the roasted paneer, onions and peppers into the curry. Mix well and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with more cilantro and serve paneer tikka masala with naan or paratha.

Adapted from 'Vegetarian India' by Madhur Jaffrey, which we reviewed in 2015.

The serrano chiles I found were large; I used about 1 1/4 chiles, and the dish was plenty hot. Jaffrey calls for fresh or frozen peas. I tested the recipe with frozen petite peas, which were just fine (and obviously way less labor intensive) so that's what's called for here.
