Punjabi samosa Stuffing
Samosa stuffing is an important part of making samosa. Punjabi samosa filling is made with aloo, matar and simple spices that are usually available in the kitchen.
No onion or garlic is used in authentic Punjabi samosa filling. But if you like the taste of garlic or onion you can add them in samosa filling. You can make the aloo stuffing as spicy as you want. I like to add small cubes of paneer sometimes. You can add paneer in the filling if you like it.
Can you make Baked Samosa?
Yes! Samosa can be baked. Traditional recipe of samosa is deep fried. But health consciousness people try to make baked samosa. I have made whole wheat baked samosa recipe with Chef Vikas Khanna as a part of Fit Foodie panel.
You can check my Baked samosa recipe, or simply check this recipe instruction in the end. One thing I must admit here is Baked samosa still comes out slightly dryer than deep fried samosa. But saves a lot of calories 🙂
Can You Make Samosa in Air Fryer?
Air fryer has made life so much easier and guilt-free for us food lovers. You can definitely make samosa in Air fryer. As you can see in the samosa picture below. The crust is slightly different from the deep fried samosa in the picture above. But the air fryer samosa tastes absolutely yummy too. Perfect crispy crust and the Punjabi aloo filling! Best of both the words.

How to Make Samosa in Advance
You can make samosa in advance and refrigerate them. You can make the samosa recipe till folding the samosa and refrigerate them. Now the question is till how long these samosas last. You can store samosa in the freezer for up to 6 weeks and in the refrigerator for up to 6-8 hours.
If you make small samosa, you can serve them as appetisers or finger snack. These are called co*cktail samosa. You can serve the samosa with green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney. Samosa with tomato ketchup or Red chilli sauce is not bad either if you are feeling lazy.

Notes
Now there are two methods from here one is deep frying the samosa and second is air fry in the microwave. I have shown both methods in video.
Notes
If you don't have slim fry function mode in your microwave you can use traditional air fryer ( I don't use one because my microwave has all these functions and I unnecessarily don't want to clutter my previous counter space)
I mostly believe in keeping one gadget with multifunctions , it may come little expensive but if you put together the amount you pay for many different gadgets it is still much less and the you have less cluttered counter 🙂
