Learn how to make Air fryer samosas from frozen without all the deep frying and oil. Air fryer frozen samosas are a quick and easy appetizer and a delicious snack for tea!
Air Fryer Frozen Samosa
Samosas are a really popular savory Indian snack. Normally, they are deep-fried and served with chutney or a dipping sauce.
Making the samosa from scratch is a cumbersome process. It involves making the filling and the dough, rolling it out, wrapping each individual samosa precisely so that the filling stays intact and deep-frying.
Needless to say, I’ve never tried making samosa at home! Luckily, you can buy pre-made frozen samosa from the stores which are just like homemade samosas! These delicious samosas are a great appetizer or a snack to serve at tea time.
The frozen samosa can be prepared in many ways. You can bake them in the oven or Air fry them. Air frying is the quick and easy way and you can make them as few or as many as possible in the shortest amount of time. Air fryer samosas take only 10 minutes to cook. And they are perfectly crispy and piping hot!
I love to buy the cocktail or mini samosas. They’re popular at my house when friends and family are over. My kids love them as an after-school snack or a quick bite. I serve a green chili chutney dipping sauce or a mint dipping sauce with the Air fried samosa.

You don’t need to defrost samosas.
If cooking a large batch, cook in batches.
What Air Fryer To Use?
I use a Cosori 5.8 quart basket type and is perfect for our family! It fits in about 25 mini or cocktail frozen samosas.
Where to Buy Frozen Samosa?
Many supermarkets in North America carry frozen samosas. They can be found at Walmart, Costco or Trader Joes.
Or they can be found at any Indian or ethnic grocery stores.
I like the mini samosas. But you can also get the regular samosas with fillings like potatoes and peas or chicken.
The green chili chutney or the mint chutney can also be found in these places.
How To Store
You can store the cooked samosas in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat samosas in the Air fryer on a low setting until warm.
