In a bowl, combine yogurt, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, paprika, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create the tandoori marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Place the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches.
Air fry for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is marinating, cook the basmati rice according to package directions.
To make the mint raita, finely chop the mint and cucumber. Mix with a cup of plain yogurt and a pinch of salt.
Serve the air fryer tandoori chicken hot with basmati rice, naan bread, and a side of cool mint raita. Enjoy!
