22 Healthy Indian Air Fryer Recipes to Try This Week

Got an air fryer but only use it for frozen fries and reheating? Many Indian air fryer owners do, because most air fryer recipe books are written for Western food.

That's why we made the Ultimate Air Fryer Recipe Book: 11 books of Indian air fryer recipes, from paneer tikka and samosas to namkeens, nashta, sabzis and festive sweets. Below are 22 recipes from inside the collection, two from every book.

Why These Air Fryer Recipes Actually Work

Every recipe is written for Indian food and an air fryer: the temperature and time are given for each one, so you get crisp samosas, tikkas and chaat with a spray of oil instead of a kadhai full. The books are sorted by need, from High-Protein Meals and Kids' Tiffin to Tandoori & Tikka, Street Food Makeover and Everyday Sabzi & One-Pot Meals.
