Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons red pepper (finely diced)
  • ½ jalapeno (deseeded and finely diced)
  • ¼ cup frozen corn (thawed)
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • ¼ teaspoon Chat masala
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 frozen Kawan parathas
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Method
 

  1. Combine red pepper, jalapeno, corn, cilantro, mozzarella, cheddar, Chat masala, and cumin in a bowl.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Thaw Kawan parathas for 2 minutes. Cut each paratha in half.
  4. Fold a paratha half into a triangle, sealing one side to form a pocket. Stuff with 2 tablespoons of filling.
  5. Seal the samosa edges with a fork and brush with melted butter.
  6. Air fry 4 samosas at 350°F (175°C) for 12 minutes, adding 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.

Notes

- To prevent your parathas from becoming too soft to handle, work quickly with them once removed from the freezer. I've found that thawing for just 2 minutes on the cutting board is ideal to maintain their structure.
- For an extra crispy exterior and golden brown finish, don't shy away from brushing both sides of your jalapeno samosas generously with melted butter before air frying.
- Ensure the samosa edges are firmly sealed with a fork. This not only creates a pretty crimped pattern but, more importantly, prevents the cheesy filling from oozing out during cooking.
