Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup green peas (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 package of spring roll wrappers or samosa wrappers
- Oil spray for air frying
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 green chili (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
Instructions
- Boil the diced sweet potatoes in a pot until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Mash the sweet potatoes in a bowl and mix in olive oil, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, salt, green peas, and lemon juice.
- Use store-bought wrappers or make your own dough with all-purpose flour, salt, and water. If using wrappers, keep them covered with a damp cloth.
- Cut a spring roll wrapper in half, place a spoonful of filling on one end, fold to form a triangle, and seal the edges with water.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray the basket with oil. Arrange the samosas in a single layer and spray the tops with oil.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Ensure sweet potatoes are very tender for easy mashing.
- Seal the edges of the samosas well to prevent leaking.
- Preheat the air fryer for even cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket for best results.
- Check samosas a few minutes before the suggested cooking time to prevent overcooking.
