Ingredients
  • 1 box frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons oil, divided
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/4 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated or minced ginger
  • 2 small Yukon potatoes, diced small
  • 2 small carrots, diced small
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 6 tablespoons water
Directions
  1. Thaw out the pastry sheets on the counter
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan on medium-high, then cook the cumin and mustard seeds for 3 minutes.
  3. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, carrots, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, pepper flakes, and ½ teaspoon salt, stirring well. Add ¼ cup water to pan, cover, and turn the heat down to low.
  4. Cook the vegetables for 8 minutes until potatoes are tender. Add the peas to the pan and cook for 2 minutes until fully thawed.
  5. Mix the flour with 6 tablespoons water until no lumps remain.
  6. Unfold the puff pastry and use a rolling pin to flatten it out, stretching it about 2 more inches.
  7. Cut the pastry into 4 equal-sized rectangles.
  8. Fold the upper right corner of each dough rectangle and bring it down to meet the lower side to form a triangle. Fold up the lower right corner of the pastry and bring it up to parallel the top edge of the dough.
  9. Turn the dough 45 degrees with the point facing down and seal the right side with the flour and water mixture.
  10. Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture into the pocket (the open area at the top) and bring the top flap down to cover up the pocket. Seal with the flour mixture.
  11. Brush both sides of each samosa with oil. Place a few samosas in the air fryer.
  12. Set the air fryer to 350 F and cook the samosas for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  13. Repeat the air frying process with the rest of the samosas, working in batches.
  14. Optionally serve with fresh cilantro.
