👨‍🍳 How to Make Air Fryer Samosas

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, then sauté onion, ginger, and chili.
2. Add mashed potatoes, peas, turmeric, garam masala, and salt.
3. Cook 4–5 minutes. Let it cool completely.

Step 2: Fill and Fold Samosas

1. Cut spring roll sheets into rectangles or triangles.
2. Fill each with 1 tbsp of potato mixture.
3. Fold into triangles and seal edges with flour paste.

Step 3: Air Fry

1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Brush or spray samosas lightly with oil.
3. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flip, and cook another 5–7 minutes until golden brown.

Tips for Best Results: Use aged basmati rice for perfect long grains. Always cook rice 90% before layering. Add saffron-soaked milk or food color for a restaurant-style look. Fry eggs lightly for a crisp outer layer before adding to masala (optional).
