    Is there anything better than a good samosa for a pick-me-up? It may not be the healthiest of breakfast recipe, but certainly is one of the most popular ones. After all, everything is great when you balance it. Whether it is mini samosa with nuts and lentils or paneer samosa. I even keep frozen samosas for a quick snack or as a breakfast recipe occasionally. Traditional samosas are made with plain flour dough and have a delicious filling inside. Later we deep fry it. However, the below recipe is for an air fryer samosa. If you do not have time to knead the flour, you can expedite it by using samosa sheets. While Punjabi samosa recipe has a potato based filling while traditional onion samosa recipe is patti samosa recipe.

    The below recipe has the best of both. Crisp wafer of onion samosa or Irani samosa and potato filling of the Punjabi samosa. Learn to make it here. Ninja foodi air fryer is a game changer for snacks. Whether it is moong dal kachori or khasta kachori. Delicious khari biscuits or onion bhajiya. Crisp spring rolls or tasty masala papad in air fryer everything made with very little oil and yet great crunch!

    Substitutions

    You can also use chopped cabbage, green onions or shallots and carrots in the filling. You can use minced meat or chicken mince as filling to make a keema samosa if you are non-vegetarian. Make homemade samosa patti if you cannot find readymade samosa pattis in local market. 

    If you do not have air fryer, you may bake it in an oven. It might take 30% more time. You can also fry it in a frying pan on medium flame.

    Variations

    • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes while cooking to imbue heat into the dish, or ground black pepper. You may also add other spice powders like garam masala powder, coriander powder, ginger garlic paste along with jeera powder. You may also add dry mango powder / amchur or lemon juice.
    • Deluxe - add spoonful of spicy paneer curry inside
    • Kid friendly - Keep it plain and simple. Add peas, carrots and corn for a variation. You can also make onion filling along with shredded cabbage.

    Storage

    Store it in an airtight container in refrigerator. Good for 2-3 days.

    You can freeze them in a tray lined with parchment paper and cover it with a cling film. If you happen to make more than you can eat, reheat leftover samosas in air fryer to get the best results.
