In today’s recipe, I made a delicious Paneer Bun Pizza in the air fryer — a quick, cheesy and flavour-packed snack that combines the goodness of paneer tikka with the fun of mini bun pizzas. This recipe is super easy, uses minimal ingredients, and needs no onion or tomato. I marinated only the paneer with curd and spices, added fresh capsicum and corns for extra crunch.
The buns turn perfectly crisp in just a few minutes, giving a beautiful pizza-like base. The paneer tikka gets a slight smoky roast, and the cheese melts into a rich, creamy layer that ties everything together. The flavour of marinated paneer make every bite taste like a desi-style tandoori pizza.
This is an amazing snack for kids, parties, evening cravings, or when you want something yummy without spending too much time. With the air fryer, the entire recipe becomes mess-free, quick and healthier than regular pizza making. You can customise the toppings as you like — but this simple combination of paneer tikka, capsicum and corn tastes absolutely amazing!
Try this café-style Paneer Bun Pizza at home and enjoy a cheesy, crispy and flavourful treat in just minutes!
