Preheat the Air fryer at 180 degrees for 3 minutes. Brush the kebabs with oil and let it cook in the Air fryer for 5 minutes. (The cooking process can be done just after the gravy is made)

Add in the tomatoes and cashew, cook further for 10 mins, till this semi-dry. Season with the dry masalas, stir in the yogurt. Place the kebabs in a serving dish.

Air Fried Chicken Kebabs

I recently got a Phillips AirFryer. I love Indian cuisine, so instead of trying typical frozen food, the first thing I made with the Air Fryer was Chicken Kebabs. What turned out was just amazing. Well cooked inside, and a good crunch outside. Here's the recipe.

1/2 kg boneless chicken cut into mince
2 tbsps garlic paste
1 tbsp ginger paste
1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves
1 large onion chopped
2 tbsp fresh yoghurt
3 tbsp crushed cashew nuts
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp each of tandoori masala, coriander powder, jeera powder
Salt and red chilly powder, as per taste
2 tsp oil, for brushing

Mix all of the above and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Make Palm size rolls and place them on the basket given with the AirFryer, brush them with a little oil. Preheat the AirFryer for 3 minutes at 200 degrees. Place the basket in the AirFryer and let it cook for 10 minutes. 
I served it with some chutney and bread.
