🔥 Air Fry It Like a Pro

1. Marinate paneer: Mix curd + all spices + paneer. Rest for 10–15 min.
2. Preheat air fryer to 180°C.
3. Air fry paneer for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.
4. Toast your bread, or crisp it in the air fryer too (2–3 min).
5. Assemble: Spread green chutney, add air-fried paneer, and top with onion rings or fresh coriander.

Bonus: You can throw the whole sandwich in the air fryer again for 3 minutes for that full crunch.
