Carefully test the oil temperature with a drop of water; the oil is ready when the water sizzles. Working in batches, fry several samosas at a time. Try not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each samosa ...

Divide the samosa dough into small balls ... Alternatively, place them on parchment paper inside the air fryer. Air fry at 190 degrees C for 15-20 mins or until the samosas turn crisp and golden brown ...

Add ajwain and salt, then mix well. Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. This will be the crispy outer layer of the samosa. Roll out the dough into a round roti and cut it into two pieces.

All the flavours of a potato and vegetable samosa in a pretty swirl ... all the flavours of Indian samosas without having to deep-fry a thing. A real crowd-pleaser for Diwali parties!
