Crispy Jalapeño Corn Samosas
Jalapeno samosas: whip up these quick and crispy air-fried treats. Filled with spicy jalapeño, sweet corn, and melted cheese, they're perfect for a snack or appetizer.
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)
Instructions
- Combine red pepper, jalapeno, corn, cilantro, mozzarella, cheddar, Chat masala, and cumin in a bowl.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Thaw Kawan parathas for 2 minutes. Cut each paratha in half.
- Fold a paratha half into a triangle, sealing one side to form a pocket. Stuff with 2 tablespoons of filling.
- Seal the samosa edges with a fork and brush with melted butter.
- 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.
