Ingredients
- 10 pre-made pastry sheets or homemade pastry
- 2 large potatoes boiled and mashed
- ½ cup peas fresh or frozen
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
For the Dough (if making homemade pastry):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Water as needed
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F.
- In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
- Add the onion, ginger, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
- Mix in the coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric, and chili powder. Cook for about a minute.
- Add the mashed potatoes and peas to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season with salt.
- Remove the filling from heat and let it cool.
- Roll out the pastry sheets on a floured surface. Cut each sheet in half to form rectangles.
- Place a spoonful of the filling on one end of each rectangle, fold over the pastry, and seal the edges with a fork.
- Lightly brush the pastries with oil.
- Arrange the samosas in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway, until the samosas are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with chutney or your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- For homemade pastry, mix all-purpose flour, salt, oil, and enough water to form a smooth dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes before using.
- Store any leftover samosas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat samosas in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes to maintain their crispiness before serving.
