Prepare Hung Curd:
Line a bowl with muslin cloth, add thick yogurt, and hang for 2–3 hours to drain water. Squeeze gently a few times for a firm curd.
Make Mixture:
In a bowl, mix hung curd, grated paneer, breadcrumbs, salt, and spices until it forms a soft dough. Add more breadcrumbs if the mix feels sticky.
Shape Patties:
Divide the mixture into equal portions, roll into balls, and flatten slightly into kebabs. Brush lightly with oil.
Freeze:
Place kebabs on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Air Fry:
Preheat air fryer to 180°C (355°F) for 5 minutes. Line the basket with a perforated sheet and arrange kebabs in a single layer. Air fry for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway and brushing with oil again.
Serve:
When crisp and golden, serve hot with mint chutney or yogurt dip.
