Step 1
Preparing the Filling: Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Saute finely chopped onions until they turn translucent. Stir in ginger-garlic paste for about a minute to remove the raw aroma. Cook minced chicken until it's no longer pink. Add peas, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook until peas are tender, and chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and let it cool.’
Step 2
Take a samosa wrapper and fold it into a triangular cone, sealing one edge with a bit of water to form a pocket. Fill this pocket with the prepared chicken mixture.
Step 3
Moisten the edges of the samosa wrapper with water and press firmly to seal the edges, creating a well-sealed triangular shape. Ensure there are no openings or gaps.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C for approximately 5 minutes. This ensures the samosas will cook evenly.
Step 5
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a brush of oil to prevent sticking. Place the filled samosas in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. Spray or brush a small amount of oil on the samosas to help them achieve a crispy texture.
Step 6
Air fry the samosas at 180°C (360°F) for 12-15 minutes. Be sure to turn them over halfway through the cooking process. The samosas are ready when they turn golden brown and become crispy.
Step 7
Once done, carefully remove the chicken samosas from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve them with your preferred chutney or dip, and enjoy your homemade, crispy samosas.
