Traditionally, they are fried in oil, which makes them crispy, but less healthy. Our family prefers making them in the air fryer or baking them in the oven so that we still get the same crispiness from our vegetable samosas.

Samosa Recipe Ingredients
To make these Indian samosas at home, you will need the following ingredients.
For the dough
all purpose flour (maida) – you could try to make these gluten free using a gluten free all purpose flour, but you may need to adjust some of the ingredients for the dough
salt
chilled water – helps make a stiff dough
ghee or oil – use oil for a vegan version
caraway seeds (ajwain) – this is optional
For Stuffing
oil
potatoes – boiled and chopped
sweet green peas
ginger
garam masala
cumin seeds

For the airfryer or oven
Oil – to coat the samosas to either air fry them or bake them. If you use a traditional fryer, you’ll need enough oil to safely use your fryer.
How to make crispy Samosa at home
There are three cooking methods you can use to make vegetable samosa at home: traditional frying, air frying/baking, or using an air fryer lid for your pressure cooker.
No matter which method you choose to cook them, they will turn out amazing and crisp. And they all start with these first few steps.
Making the Samosa dough
Start by placing the flour, salt, caraway seeds and ghee or oil into a large stand mixer with a dough hook attachment and giving it a short mix. Next, add in the chilled water gradually and mix on slow speed until a firm, stiff dough develops. With a hook attachment, this should take about 5 to 6 minutes.
You could also knead the dough with your hands. Start by mixing the flour, salt, caraway seeds and ghee or oil in a bowl. Gradually add in the chilled water and knead until the dough has formed. If you do this by hand, it will take about 7 to 8 minutes before it becomes smooth.
Cover the dough with a wet cloth to prevent the dough from drying out or forming a skin and keep it to the side. Often when I make it, I prefer to keep it in the Instant Pot on Yogurt mode on Normal Heat for an hour.
