Chicken, peppers and onions cooked in a creamy coconut curry sauce. This is my easy recipe - using curry paste to speed up the process.Yep, the air fryer doesn’t have to be used only for dry foods. You can make saucy foods too. You just need one additional piece of equipment - a cake barrel insert (more on this later). The peppers and onions get slightly charred when cooking in the air fryer, which adds a lovely extra flavour dimension.
Air Fryer Cake Barrel
The key to making saucy recipes in the air fryer is to use a cake barrel with a handle that is suitable for your air fryer. You’ll need to measure the inside diameter of your air fryer basket to figure out which size cake barrel will fit your air fryer. I use the following (these are affiliate links):This 8-inch cake barrel is the perfect size for my air fryer. My air fryer is the Ninja Air Fryer Max.This size tin is large enough to make a medium-sized curry that serves 4 people (about a cup and a half per person).Don’t forget, when you’re lifting the cake barrel out of the air fryer, the handle will be hot! So be sure to use a tea towel to protect your hands.
