    Ingredients for Air Fryer Frozen Samosa with text labels
    • Frozen samosa: you will find many brands and varieties of these across the major supermarkets. The main differences will be quality and quantity.
    • Coriander chutney: this is the green chutney you see in the photo above. It is bold and spicy.
    • Mango chutney: this is the red chutney shown in the photo above. It is sweet and mild.

    Tasty Tip 1: Read the box of samosas before you purchase them to see if they come with or without chutney. If they don't come with the sauce, head to the Indian section of the supermarket and grab some from there.

    Samosas are described as a traditional type of Indian Pastry that combines potatoes, peas, herbs and spices.

    How to reheat

    To reheat the cooked samosa air fryer them for 5 -10 mins, until the coating is crispy and the filling cooked through.

    ๐Ÿค“ Frequently Asked Questions

    You can use the Air Fryer to cook frozen samosas.

    This makes a great alternative to cooking them in the deep fryer or shallow pan frying them.

    To keep samosa crispy longer, you can use a touch of spray olive oil on store bought pre cooked frozen samosa before heating.

    Chutney is the most common sauce to serve with samosa.

    There are 3 main types. Tamarind Chutney (sweet and sour), Coriander Chutney (bold and spicy) and Mango Chutney (sweet and mild).

    Equipment

    • Air Fryer
    • Kitchen Tongs
    • Paper towel to rest the cook samosa prior to serving
    • Small Bowls for the chutney

    Ingredients

    • 8 frozen samosa Note 1
    • coriander chutney to serve
    • mango chutney to serve
    • olive oil Note 2

    Instructions

    • Preheat the Air Fryerย at a temperature of 180ยฐC/350 F forย 2-3 mins (optional).
    • Remove frozen samosa from freezer, discard packaging and place into the air fryer basket or tray.
    • Cook the samosa at the same temperature used to pre heat the appliance for 15 minutes.
    • Use kitchen tongs to remove cooked samosa and rest on paper towel.
    • Serve immediately with chutney.

    Notes

    • Note 1 I recommend using store bought frozen samosa. There is a wide variety and range readily available these days at your local grocery store. Get to know the brands and then choose your favourite.ย 
    • Note 2 I don't find it necessary to recoat frozen samosa in olive oil or spray them with additional oil as I think it is possibly to get very crispy results without doing this. If you want to, however, you can use a light spray of olive oil on the base of the Air Fryer basket and on the samosa themselves.ย 
    • Refer to specific packet for ingredients and nutritional information for both samosa and chutney. These will vary across different brands.

      Great idea we made these for lunch with curry. So much better than frying in oil.
