Cook samosa according to your recipe. You can fry samosa, which is the most traditional way to prepare them. You can also bake samosa or air fry samosa.
Samosa consists of fried dough, traditionally filled with vegetables (peas, potatoes, carrots, and a lot of spices). There are several versions of this Indian appetizer, but the vegetable samosa is the most common version. However, you will also find meat samosas, chicken samosas, fish samosas, or seafood samosas.

Brush both sides of each samosa with oil. Place a few samosas in the air fryer.
Set the air fryer to 350 F and cook the samosas for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
