Shape the Samosas
Fry the Samosas
For a lower-fat version, bake the samosas at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Brush them with a little oil before baking.
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Brush the samosas with oil and air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Add 1/2 cup of crumbled paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or boiled and mashed potatoes to the egg filling for a different texture and flavor.
Eggs are a complete protein source, providing all the essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
The filling contains eggs, onions, and tomatoes, which provide essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, choline, and antioxidants like lycopene.
One medium-sized Egg Samosa contains approximately 130-160 calories, depending on its size and the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
Egg Samosa is a deep-fried snack, making it high in calories and fat. While the egg filling provides protein, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Baking or air-frying are healthier alternatives.

This usually happens for two reasons: the dough was too soft, or the oil temperature was too low when you started frying. Ensure the dough is stiff and the oil is heated to the correct low-medium temperature before adding the samosas.
Yes. You can freeze them uncooked. Arrange the shaped, uncooked samosas on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. You can fry them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
