Air Fryer Haldiram Samosa

Ingredients

• 400 g Haldiram frozen samosas (about 8), straight from the freezer
• Green chutney or tamarind chutney, to serve (optional)
• Sliced onion, to serve (optional)
• Oil spray

Steps

1. Take the samosas straight from frozen - Haldiram's crust runs thicker than a cocktail samosa, so don't thaw it first or the pastry turns soggy before the air fryer can crisp it.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C for 3 minutes.
3. Spray generously with oil - the thick pastry needs a proper coating to brown evenly.
4. Arrange in a single layer with space between each samosa.
5. Air fry for 8 minutes, then turn each one over.
6. Air fry a further 4 minutes (about 12 minutes total), checking one is piping hot in the centre before pulling the rest - this brand's thicker crust means a cold centre is the main way these go wrong.
7. If the centre's still cool, give them another 2 minutes rather than raising the heat, which will burn the crust before the inside catches up.
8. Rest for 2 minutes, then serve with chutney and sliced onion.

Tip: Haldiram samosas run thicker and denser than most other frozen brands, so if a recipe's times look short, it's probably written for a thinner brand, not this one.
