Who doesn’t love biting into a hot, crispy samosa? This triangular snack filled with spiced potatoes, peas, or even meat is a true favourite at tea-time and parties. But there’s one problem—traditional samosas are deep-fried, which makes them heavy, oily, and high in calories.
Thankfully, there’s a solution: air-fried samosas. Using an air fryer, you can enjoy the same crunch and flavor with far less oil. These healthier samosas taste just as good, while being lighter and guilt-free. In this blog, let’s explore why air-frying is better, how to make perfect samosas, and tips to keep them crispy every time.
Air frying has become popular because it gives food a crunchy texture without deep frying. Instead of dunking samosas in hot oil, the air fryer circulates hot air around them. This method cuts down oil by up to 80%.

So, if you’ve been skipping samosas because of calories, this air-fried version brings them back to your plate!
Here’s what you’ll need for a classic potato-pea filling (makes 10–12 samosas):
Step 1: Prepare the filling
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, onions, and sauté until golden. Add ginger-garlic paste, peas, mashed potatoes, and spices. Mix well. Garnish with coriander leaves. Let it cool. To make it healthier, you can use Organic Moringa Powder in the dough.
Step 2: Fill and fold the samosas
Take a samosa sheet or dough piece. Fold into a cone, stuff with filling, and seal edges with water.
Step 3: Preheat the air fryer
Set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 3–4 minutes.
Step 4: Brush samosas with oil
Lightly brush or spray each samosa with oil for extra crispiness.
Step 5: Air fry to golden perfection
Place samosas in the basket without overlapping. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes until golden brown. Shake halfway through for even crisping.
