Jalapeno Corn and Cheese Samosas
Quick and EASY air-fried samosas using frozen parathas - perfect as an afterschool snack or a quick 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
Directions :
- In a medium bowl mix peppers, corn, jalapeno, and cilantro. Mix in cheeses, chaat masala, and ground cumin.
- Preheat the air fryer at 350 F.
- Take out 2 frozen Parathas from the freezer. Note: These parathas thaw in 2 to 3 minutes. You do not want them to fully thaw as they can get too soft to handle, especially if your kitchen is warm. So take out only 1 to 2 parathas at a time from the freezer.
- Remove plastic wrappers from one paratha and place it on a parchment-lined cutting board. Allow it to thaw for 2 minutes. Using a pizza cutter, cut the paratha in half.
- Take one half of the paratha and fold it in half making it a triangle shape. Pressing down firmly about half an inch along the straight cut side, sealing one side of the paratha and creating a pocket. Carefully stuff 2 tablespoons of filling into the pocket gently pushing down with a spoon and leaving about half an inch border of paratha to seal in the filling. Press together the 2 open sides of the pocket sealing the samosa completely.
- Place the filled samosa on the cutting board and press down on the two sealed sides using a fork. This will help seal the filling and also create a pretty pattern on the edges. Lightly brush both sides with melted butter.
- Place 4 samosas in the air fryer keeping enough space between them. If you have a smaller air fryer, cook only 2 samosas at a time. Air Fry at 350 F for 12 minutes. You may brush with more butter and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes if needed.
- Carefully take out the samosas with a pair of silicone tongs and serve hot!
