Heat Management: A heavy pinch of chilli flakes or Sriracha cuts straight through the sweet mango chutney.
Paneer Prep: Toss the paneer in turmeric and garam masala before building. Don't skip this unless you like bland cheese.
Rigid Base: If the naan is thick, blast it naked in the air fryer for 60 seconds first so the chutney doesn't turn it into a soggy sponge.

Ingredients for Easy 15-Minute Crispy Mango Paneer Naan Pizza
How to make Easy 15-Minute Crispy Mango Paneer Naan Pizza
Spread an even layer of mango chutney across the naan. This is your high-efficiency flavour base.
Distribute the paneer, red peppers, and onions. Press the paneer firmly into the chutney so it locks in place. If you don't, the air fryer fan will blow it everywhere.
Blast it in the air fryer or oven. Leave it in for an extra 2 minutes. You want the paneer edges to blister and catch that charred 'tandoori' look.
Pull it when the edges are crispy. Shower heavily with fresh coriander (cilantro) while it's still steaming and enjoy.
Storage and Freezing for Easy 15-Minute Crispy Mango Paneer Naan Pizza
Eat it fresh. Leftovers survive 2 days in the fridge but the microwave will ruin the crust. Reheat in the air fryer. Don't freeze.
