Air-Fried Samosas with Cilantro Sauce

Stuffed with tender potatoes and sweet peas and flavored with fragrant curry powder and garlic, these air-fried treats are a great part of a healthy Indian-inspired meatless Monday meal. Airfrying puff pastry gives these samosas a crisp, flaky texture.

Air-Fried Samosas with Cilantro Sauce

Ingredients

For the samosas:

• 1 Tbs. vegetable oil
• 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
• 1 cup (5 oz./155 g) finely diced peeled russet potato
• 1/2 cup (2 1/2 oz./75 g) thawed frozen peas
• 2 tsp. curry powder
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Kosher salt
• All-purpose flour for dusting
• 1 frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed
• 1 egg beaten with 1 tsp. water

For the cilantro sauce:

• 1 cup (1 oz./30 g) packed fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• Kosher salt
• 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) olive oil

Directions

1. To make the samosas, in a large nonstick fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 12 minutes. Add the peas, curry powder, garlic and 1 tsp. salt and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl.

2. Preheat an air fryer to 390°F (199°C).

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 7-by-14-inch (18-by-35-cm) rectangle. Cut into 2 strips lengthwise, then into 4 sections crosswise to create 8 squares. Working with 1 pastry square at a time, lightly brush the edges with some of the egg wash. Spoon a scant 1 Tbs. potato mixture into the center. Fold the bottom right corner over to the top left corner, then press the edges with the tines of a fork to seal.

4. Carefully place 2 samosas in the variety cooking basket. Set the double layer rack inside the basket and place 2 samosas on the rack. Insert the basket into the air fryer. Cook, uncovered, until the pastry is evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with the remaining 4 samosas.

5. Meanwhile, make the cilantro sauce: In a mini food processor, combine the cilantro, garlic, 3/4 tsp. salt, the lemon juice and olive oil and process until the mixture reaches a pesto-like consistency. Serve the sauce alongside the samosas. Serves 4.
