Samosa bites

Ingredients (for 6 pieces, adjust ×2 for 2 people)

A) “Samosa filling” (simple)

Use any easy filling you like. Here’s a fast basic vegan version:

1. 1 cup boiled mashed potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes), cooled
2. 1/2 cup cooked green peas (optional but great)
3. 1–1.5 tsp cumin
4. 1/2–1 tsp turmeric
5. 1 tsp coriander powder (or extra cumin)
6. 1/2–1 tsp red chili powder (optional)
7. Salt + black pepper to taste
8. 1 tbsp oil (or skip if using non-stick)

Mix all until a thick, scoopable filling.

Shape into 6 small balls (each ~15 g).

If you already have a samosa filling, use that instead—steps below stay the same.

B) Easy coating mixture (no wrapper)

1. AP flour 2 tbsp
2. Semolina (rava) 1 tbsp
3. Carom seeds (ajwain) 1/2 tsp
4. Black sesame seeds 1 tbsp
5. Salt 1/4–1/2 tsp
6. Little oil 1 tsp (just a bit helps crisping)

Plain water for dipping (as needed)

Instructions (very easy method)

1. Shape filling balls: Make 6 balls (about 15 g each). Keep them chilled 10–15 minutes.
2. Make dry coating mix: In a bowl mix AP flour + semolina + ajwain + black sesame + salt + little oil.
3. Coat each ball:Dip a ball quickly in plain water (just enough to wet the surface)
4. Immediately roll it in the dry mix until coated nicely
5. Place on a lightly oiled plate
6. Repeat for all balls
7. Air fry:Preheat air fryer to 180°C / 360°F
8. Spray or lightly brush tops with oil
9. Air fry 12–16 minutes, shaking/turning halfway, until deep golden and crisp.
10. Cool 2–3 minutes before eating (coating crisps as it cools).

Nutritional value (estimated)

Because exact nutrition depends on:

1. how much potato/peas are used,
2. the exact amount of coating per bite,
3. and whether you add oil before air frying,

I’ll give a reasonable estimate for 6 pieces = 1 person portion where each piece is ~15 g and you air-fry with minimal oil.

Per person (6 pieces, ~90 g total)

1. Calories: ~320–520 kcal
2. Protein: ~7–12 g
3. Carbohydrates: ~45–75 g
4. Fat: ~8–18 g
5. Fiber: ~4–10 g
6. Sodium: depends on salt used (roughly 400–900 mg)

For 2 people (12 pieces total)

Just double the above totals.
