Air Fryer Samosas (From Frozen)

Air Fryer Samosas can be quickly made with frozen or homemade samosas in the air fryer. They turn out crispy and nice, but with fewer calories than deep fried. 

Samosas are crispy and yummy when prepared with an air fryer. The circulating air helps get all sides crispy, while cutting down on the oil needed to get them that way. For a quick and easy snack, these samosas can’t be beat.

We particularly like this recipe because air frying is a good and healthy way of preparing samosas.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Frozen samosas – You can get 6–10 samosas in a bag or box in the frozen section of the grocery store. You can also make them at home with the required ingredients and freeze them. The ingredients include maida, potato, peas, onion, spices, green chilli, cheese, and meat (lamb, beef or chicken).
• Cooking oil spray – You can use any spray oil of your choice. This is used to spray or rub on the samosas before air frying. 
• Sauce – Choose a sauce of your choice to spice up your snack and make it more delicious. You can use any sauce like samosa dipping sauce, green chutney, caramel sauce, and many others.

Helpful Tips

• When you place the samosas in the air fryer basket, don’t let them touch each other. They need space to get crispy. Depending on the size of your air fryer and how many you want to make, you might need to make them in batches.
• Use a cooking oil spray on the outside of the samosas to get a nice crispy exterior. If you don’t have a cooking spray, you can brush on oil oil instead.
• When the samosas are well-cooked, they look golden brown and crispy. You might need to cook them longer than 6 minutes to reach that color, depending on your air fryer.

What Sauce to Serve Them With

The sauce eaten with samosas is called chutney. There are three main types of chutney that are served in Indian restaurants to go with your samosas. These are green, red, and brown. While all chutneys have basically the same ingredients, some are changed in each variation to give a different flavor.

• Green sauce: This is made with green chilies, cumin, coriander and mint leaves
• Brown sauce: This is called imli or tamarind chutney and is made with tamarind, jaggery and ginger powder.
• Red sauce: Also called Mysore Masala chutney, this sauce is made with roasted Bengal gram, Kashmiri dried red chilies, tamarind and onion.
