Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons red pepper (finely diced)
  • 1/2 jalapeno (deseeded and finely diced)
  • 1/4 cup frozen corn (thawed)
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chat masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 frozen Kawan parathas
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl mix peppers, corn, jalapeno, and cilantro. Mix in cheeses, chaat masala, and ground cumin.

  2. 2

    Preheat the air fryer at 350 F.

  3. 3

    Take out 2 frozen Parathas from the freezer. Note: These parathas thaw in 2 to 3 minutes. You do not want them to fully thaw as they can get too soft to handle, especially if your kitchen is warm. So take out only 1 to 2 parathas at a time from the freezer.

  4. 4

    Remove plastic wrappers from one paratha and place it on a parchment-lined cutting board. Allow it to thaw for 2 minutes. Using a pizza cutter, cut the paratha in half.

  5. 5

    Take one half of the paratha and fold it in half making it a triangle shape. Pressing down firmly about half an inch along the straight cut side, sealing one side of the paratha and creating a pocket. Carefully stuff 2 tablespoons of filling into the pocket gently pushing down with a spoon and leaving about half an inch border of paratha to seal in the filling. Press together the 2 open sides of the pocket sealing the samosa completely.

  6. 6

    Place the filled samosa on the cutting board and press down on the two sealed sides using a fork. This will help seal the filling and also create a pretty pattern on the edges. Lightly brush both sides with melted butter.

  7. 7

    Repeat the above steps and make samosas with the remaining parathas.

  8. 8

    Place 4 samosas in the air fryer keeping enough space between them. If you have a smaller air fryer, cook only 2 samosas at a time. Air Fry at 350 F for 12 minutes. You may brush with more butter and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes if needed.

  9. 9

    Carefully take out the samosas with a pair of silicone tongs and serve hot!
