Just because it is named an air fryer doesn’t mean that it will only cook the standard frying options like French fries. You can also make tandoori chicken or even grilled paneer with all the spices. It comes down to your needs. But you need to know the limitations too. Air fryers are mainly for baking, roasting, and grilling of the foods, so it is a no-brainer that you can’t cook a full-blown curry inside the same.
