Samosas, a savory, triangular pastry stuffed with potatoes, chiles, South-Asian spices, and green peas, are a filling snack or appetizer that can be upgraded in the air fryer.
I buy Trader Joe's frozen samosas and put them right in the air fryer, no oil or seasoning needed. I cook them until the pastry darkens and when they're finished, they're flakier and crispier than they are from a conventional oven. I'll also use this method with samosas from a restaurant as well.
They're best served with sweet, tangy tamarind sauce or cucumber raita, both of which are a cooling accompaniment to the samosas' heat and spice.
Other frozen light bites, like gyoza, shumai, and ravioli, also benefit from air-frying.
