Do you, too, imagine a freshly prepared serving of crispy French fries whenever you hear “air fryer”? While an air fryer does a perfect job of making fries in no time, the electronic device is much more than that. Since kids want something different to munch on every evening, you must explore more recipes other than French fries.
With Usha’s air fryer, you can not only adopt the healthier alternative to traditional frying but also enjoy the same crispiness of the snacks. So, to give your kids nothing but the best, here are some kid-friendly air fryer recipes that will guarantee a smile on your child’s face. So, what are you waiting for? Preheat your Usha air fryer and get the crispiest munchies.
Bread Pakora
Be it in the streets of the national capital, Delhi or across Punjab, bread pakora is an all-time favourite fritter that you must make for your kids. Bread pakoras can be made in the Usha air fryer in different variations. For example, you can add a potato or paneer filling between two slices or serve it as is with a chutney.
Cheese Balls
Doesn’t everyone love the mouth-melting cheese balls that have crunchy exterior and chewy cheese on the inside? To make this utterly delicious snack for your kids, you can make a mixture of flour, mozzarella cheese, onion and garlic paste, and a little salt. Make small balls and roll them in breadcrumbs. Air fry the balls and arrange them on a plate with a side of dips and ketchup, and your evening snack is ready.
Samosa Chaat
Samosa is one of the most popular evening snacks in Northern India, but samosa chaat makes it much healthier. Instead of deep frying a samosa in oil, you can air fry it in your Usha air fryer till its crust is crispy. Then, you can make a gravy-based chana (chickpea) to add to your samosa. Pour some generous amount of the sabzi, add imli (tamarind) chutney and give your kids an impeccable evening snack.
Chicken Wings
Are you still ordering chicken wings for your kids? Why don’t you make your child’s favourite at home? All you need to do is get the wings and marinate them in your favourite sauce. After waiting for about half an hour, toss them into the air fryer and let them cook till the colour turns golden brown. Just like that, your crispy chicken wings will be ready in a few minutes.
Fish Fry
If you want to make a healthy, protein-rich evening snack, you can try making fish fry in your Usha air fryer. To make fish fry, you can chop some fish and marinate the pieces in a batter made with besan, ginger and garlic paste, and spices like salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, etc. After letting them set, fry them in the air fryer, and serve the kid-friendly snack with lemon wedges and chilli sauce.
