Expert Tips for Crispy Air Fryer Paneer:
- For extra crispy paneer, you can double the amount of cornflour and rice flour in the marinade.
- Ensure the noodles are well-drained before wrapping the paneer. Excess moisture can prevent crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. This ensures even cooking and crispiness.
- If your air fryer doesn't get sufficiently crispy results, consider a quick broil at the end of the air frying process, watching closely to prevent burning.
