- 1 Tbsp beet grated
- 1 ½ tsp garam masala or tikka masala

Cut paneer into 2-inch by 1-1/2-inch steaks.
In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, beets, and spices. Whisk until smooth.
Arrange the paneer onto a plate and coat all sides with the marinade. Be gentle to avoid breaking the paneer.
Spray the air fryer tray with oil. Arrange paneer. Spray the top of the paneer with oil.
Cook in an air fryer at 380°F (190°C) for 11-13 minutes. Turn the paneer at the halfway point.
Serve with lemon, sliced onion, and cilantro.
