3. Air-Fryer Samosa (Whole-Wheat, Lighter Samosa)

The air fryer makes it easier to enjoy samosas without the guilt of deep frying. Prepare a spiced potato and pea filling with mustard seeds, cumin and a hint of amchur for tang. Roll dough from whole-wheat flour or use pastry sheets for a thinner crust, fill, seal carefully and place samosas in the air fryer basket. A light brush or spray of oil will give a golden, crisp exterior while keeping oil use minimal. Cooking in small batches helps maintain even browning and crisping. These air-fried samosas are excellent for a snack with chai or packaged in a lunchbox alongside a small chutney container. They offer the comfort of a classic street-food favorite but are friendlier to daily eating goals when you control the dough and oil.
