- boiled potato2
- green peas0.25 cup
- cumin seeds1 tsp
- oil sprayas needed
Method
Make the filling
Mash the boiled potato with the green peas and cumin seeds until well mixed. Let the mash cool fully before filling, as a hot filling makes the pastry soft and hard to fold and seal neatly.
Shape the samosas
Fold each pastry sheet into a small cone, spoon in a little of the potato mix, then seal the edge with a dab of water. Press the seam down firmly so it holds shut and the filling does not spill out while cooking.
Arrange in the basket
Place the samosas in a single layer in the basket with gaps between each one. Crowding them traps steam and leaves the pastry soft, so give them room for the hot air to reach every side.
Spray with oil
Lightly spray the samosas with oil on all sides. A thin, even film of oil is what turns the pastry crisp and golden, and it browns far more evenly than dabbing oil on with a brush.
Air fry
Air fry the samosas at 190°C for 12 min, turning once halfway, until the pastry is crisp and evenly golden brown. Turning them once helps both sides colour the same instead of one staying pale.
