Notes
- Adjust the spices - I recommend cutting the red chili powder in half if you're not a spicy food fan.
- Seal the samosa well - If there are gaps, use the flour paste to seal them.
- Preheat the oil - The samosas will be nice and crisp this way.
- Bake your samosas - Preheat your oven to 350 degrees; brush the samosas generously with oil on both sides; place on a cookie sheet, and bake for 20 minutes. Check and brush with oil periodically to prevent your samosas from drying, and flip them halfway through.
- Air fry the samosas - Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees for 5 minutes; brush the samosas generously with oil on both sides and Air Fry for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Brush the samosas with oil every few minutes to prevent them from drying.
