Vegetarian samosas with brick pastry sheets (easy & vegan)

Instructions

  • 1.Start the aromatics

    Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan.
    Fry the cumin seeds until they sizzle, then add the ginger, green chilies and about two-thirds of the onion.
    Sauté 5 to 6 minutes over medium heat until tender and translucent without coloring.

  • 2.Cook the vegetables

    Add the potatoes, carrot, salt and turmeric.
    Mix, then pour in the water and bring to a light boil.
    Cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  • 3.Season and bind the filling

    Remove the lid, add the green peas, corn, remaining onion, ground coriander, garam masala, chili flakes, kasoori methi and mango chutney.
    Mix and lightly crush with a spatula to get a soft but textured filling.
    Let the excess moisture dry off and adjust seasoning.

    💡 **Tip**: For this step, we recommend this product Silicone spatula for air fryer which will make the job easier!

  • 4.Prepare the glue

    In a small bowl, whisk the flour and cold water until you get a smooth, sticky paste.
    Set aside.

  • 5.Form the samosas

    Cut the brick pastry sheets into strips (if round).
    Place a tablespoon of filling at one end, then fold into a triangle until the end.
    Seal the edge with the flour paste to close well.

  • 6.Brush and cook in the air fryer

    Brush the samosas with oil on both sides.
    Arrange them in the basket without overlapping.
    Cook at 180°C for 8 minutes, flip, then continue 4 to 5 minutes at 200°C to brown them.
    They should be nicely crispy.

  • 7.Enjoy

    Serve hot with tamarind chutney, cilantro-mint chutney or simply a lemony yogurt.

Tips from Atelier Airfryer

Tips for success

1) Use fresh brick pastry sheets, not dry ones: they fold better without cracking.
2) Seal the edges well with the flour glue to prevent leaks.
3) Brush with oil before and halfway through cooking for even browning and perfect crispiness.

Tasty variations

Try a sweet-savory version by adding some raisins and cashews to the filling, or replace the potatoes with sweet potato for a more tender touch.
For a gourmet twist, incorporate a little grated vegan cheese before closing the samosas.

About this recipe

Brick pastry samosas are a great classic reimagined here in an air fryer version: crispy to perfection, but without deep frying.
The brick pastry, thin and light, gives that golden and flaky result we love, while limiting fats.
Inside, a generous vegetable filling combining potato, carrot, green peas and Indian spices.
The flavor secret? A hint of mango chutney added at the end for the balance between sweetness and spice.
This format works equally well for a dinner party appetizer or a light meal with a crunchy salad.
The double cooking stage (180°C then 200°C) achieves even crispiness without burning the pastry.
And good news: these samosas freeze perfectly! Arrange them raw on a tray, freeze, then cook directly in the air fryer (+3 minutes cooking time).
Result: exotic bites ready in no time, perfect for an appetizer or homemade street food craving.
