Check out the full recipe below!
Ingredients
- 200g paneer, crumbled
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 tbsp boiled sweet corn
- ¼ cup capsicum, finely chopped
- 3 to 4 tbsp grated cheese
- Jalapeno slices, for topping
- Bread slices of your choice
Method
- Start by crumbling the paneer into a pan, breaking up any large pieces so that it cooks evenly. Add the milk and chilli flakes, and cook over medium heat for four to five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the paneer softens and absorbs some of the milk.
- Once the paneer has softened, take the pan off the heat and add the boiled sweet corn, finely chopped capsicum and grated cheese. Season with salt and black pepper according to taste, and mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the cheese is evenly distributed.
- Preheat your air fryer to 190°C. Meanwhile, take bread slices of your choice and spread a generous, even layer of the prepared paneer mixture over each slice, making sure to cover the surface from edge to edge.
- Top each slice with a few jalapeno slices for a spicy kick, then carefully place the bread into the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring the slices are not overcrowded.
- Air-fry at 190°C for around five minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and crisp and the cheese on top is melted and lightly browned.
- Carefully remove the crispy paneer toast from the air fryer, let it cool for a minute or two, then serve hot and enjoy.
