Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Sauté cumin seeds in oil until fragrant. Add ginger, spices, mashed potatoes, and peas. Mix well and cool.
- 2
Cut spring roll wrappers into strips. Form cones, fill with potato mixture, and seal edges with water.
- 3
Spray samosas with cooking spray on all sides.
- 4
Air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
- 5
Serve hot with mint chutney and tamarind chutney.
Tip: The filling must be completely cool before wrapping or the pastry gets soggy. Using spring roll wrappers is the easy shortcut — traditional samosa dough is labor-intensive. The cumin seeds should sizzle and pop in the oil before adding the other spices.
