I am sure that we can all agree that Indian cuisine has one of the most flavorful and unique selections of dishes across the globe. However, because Indian dishes have a distinct taste due to the number of spices and ingredients used, the preparation and cooking process can take quite some time. This is where your handy air fryer comes in. What I like about the air fryer is that most of the cooking is done with my hands off and without my active involvement. All you have to do is season the meats or vegetables and place them in the air fryer to save time.
With that in mind, I have here 15 flavor-packed Indian air fryer recipes you can easily do!
