Puff pastry Samosa Recipe (Air fryer method), easy and delicious Indian snack

After Mumbai Vada pav  Samosas are our favorite Indian snack believed to have originated in the Middle East, specifically Persia. They’re known as Sambusak.

These were usually made from scratch with 2 main components – the dough for outer cover with meat or vegetables stuffing. After that,  it’s usually deep fried or baked.

I have earlier shared the recipe of Bread Samosa which is the non traditional way to make Samosa.

So once again here i am going for a simpler route to puff pastry which is sitting in my freezer and Air frying these rather than baking in an OTG. The outcome is perfectly browned crispy samosa in front of us.

Pair these easy, delicious, flaky Puff Pastry Samosas with Dhania Pudina Chutney or with Tomato sauce.

2. Bake them @180°C for 4-5 minutes, then turn them over and cook them @200°C for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side until they are golden brown all over. Repeat until all of the samosas are cooked.

Notes

1. Make sure to brush from all the sides of the pastry samosas liberally with oil because this will prevent them from drying out.

2. I have baked the samosa at 180°C until they’re 80% done and then increase the temperature to 200°C to to achieve the golden colour.

3. I prefer not to over crowd my Air Fryer basket so i make sure to cook samosas in small batches.

How to Serve

As a side dish serve this with Imli ki khatti meethi chutney . Or if serving this as a meal you may pair it with Mango avocado Salad or a bowl of piping hot Roasted pumpkin soup.

How to store leftovers,  if any?

I am pretty sure there won’t be any. But in that case, store in an air tight container and keep them in the fridge for upto 2 days. Reheat them for in Air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes.
