When the word samosa erupts, there’s always that triangular shaped popular Indian Street food comes to the mind but in this post, we are talking about the one with a modern twist, called pinwheel Samosa.

This is called pinwheel Samosa because the shape of this samosa is like a pinwheel but the stuffing of it is exactly the same as of popular samosa.

So we can say that this is the samosa in modern look rooted in traditional flavours.

In today’s time this version of samosa is very common but mostly made using ready-made puff pastry sheets but here we have made them from the scratch.

When you are making anything from the scratch, it gives you a high satisfaction that everything you are eating is fresh, clean and free from any kind of preservatives. And even otherwise, puff pastry sheets are not available at every place.

And moreso, don’t think that making these pinwheel Samosas from homemade dough instead of readymade puff pastry sheets are going to make them anyway lesser. Even these samosas are more delicious and greatly crispy .

Also, samosa is seen from the prism of guilt being heavily deep fried but here we have made it guiltfree by making it in just 2-3 tbsp of oil, all applause to our lovable Air Fryer. Airfrying gives absolute crispness with less oil and there’s no compromise to the taste as well.

The another best part of this recipe is that it comes in very appropriate portions where every one can enjoy their share without any cutting and division.

This recipe is completely ideal for festive snacks, tea time or parties. You can prepare them in bulk and just reheat at the time of serving.

So go for it and enjoy.

STEP WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF HOW TO MAKE PINWHEEL SAMOSA IN AIRFRYER FROM SCRATCH AT HOME 

MAKING OF SHEET

Add carom seeds, salt and oil in all purpose flour. Mix. Add very little water and start kneading. The dough has to be very hard so be careful while adding water.  Cover the dough and keep aside.

MAKING OF STUFFING 

In a pan, heat oil and then add cumin seeds, green chilli ginger paste and asafoetida. Let cumin splutter. Add onion and slightly cook.  Add boiled and mashed potatoes and green peas (both preferably boiled a day before or atleast 4-5 hours ago). Also add fennel seeds, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, salt, chaat masala, Kasuri methi and coriander leaves. Just give a good mix. As everything is precooked, so it requires no long cooking. Remove the pan from heat and let the stuffing cool down completely.

SHAPING AND MAKING PINWHEEL SAMOSA

Knead the dough just for a minute. Dust some flour on a clean surface and roll the dough almost to the thickness of a roti. Spread the potato stuffing on this roti properly but leave a little space at the end of one side. Start rolling the roti tightly beginning from the end exactly opposite to that blank end.

Apply water at the empty end. Seal the roll tightly. Now cut it into pieces/pinwheels. You can use knife or thread. Put these pinwheels in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Air fry in a greased basket @180 degree C for 10-10 minutes on both the sides by brushing oil on them.

Pinwheel samosas are ready. Enjoy.

NOTES

1. You can make this recipe with readymade puff pastry sheets.
2. It is suggested to use the potatoes and green peas which are boiled a day before or atleast 4-5 hours before making this recipe so that they are quite dry and free from water. 
3. In place of chaat masala, you can use dry mango powder or dry gooseberry powder or even lemon juice.
