Golden brown Indian samosas and jalebi are a match made in heaven. We always end up making many more delicious samosas, than we can eat at once. The more, the merrier but how do you ensure you enjoy crispy samosas even the next day. In the traditional method, cooked samosas are dipped in hot oil, in a deep fryer or a kadai. They are fried one more time. This gives them flaky crust once again and crispy texture just gets better. Also, frying them ensures they are fresh again. More conscious people, generally rehat them in a microwave, instead of deep frying.However, you can have a perfectly reheated samosa by using an air fryer too.
Air fryer has replaced a lot of equipment in my home. I have stopped using my microwave and this is a convenient way to reheat easy appetizer like pizzas, french fries and onion rings. I even use it to toast my bread. Goes well with samosa for breakfast and some dipping sauce , tomato ketchup or coriander chutney, if you are not in a mood to have it as samosa chaat.Other Indian snacks you can make in air fryer - samosa pinwheels, patti samosa, mix veg pakora, onion bhajis, dry kachori, mini samosa and even frozen samosas.
