Pakore

No tea time is complete without pakore. Coat chopped veggies in a besan batter, and air fry to perfection.

Mathri

With the round portions of the maida-based dough, you can simply air fry mathri to get the crunch.

Samosa

Samosa is a Punjabi street food that can be made in an air fryer with a healthy filling of veggies.

Chakli

Chakli is a traditional Gujarati snack that can be made crunchy and healthier in an air fryer.

Chips

While store-bought chips are an easy option, you can get rid of oils and preservatives by making them at home.

Kebab

If you prefer fried kebabs over grilled ones, make them in an air fryer and enjoy with chai.
