While traditional samosas are made with a flour-based pastry, phyllo dough samosas use phyllo pastry sheets, which are incredibly thin and delicate.<\/p>\n<p>I had some phyllo dough sheets in my freezer &amp; wanted to turn them into something delicious. Making samosas with it sounded delish, especially on a rainy day. I made a simple vegetable filling &amp; folded the filling in the phyllo dough sheets. As you know phyllo dough is extremely delicate &amp; paper thin so have to be gentle while folding it.<\/p>\n<p>The egg wash will impart a beautiful golden brown color &amp; shine to the dough. I air-fried the samosas, can also be baked in the oven.<\/p>\n<p>If you have store-bought phyllo dough, making these samosas are super easy. The vegetable filling can be made ahead of time &amp; stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllo dough samosas offer a lighter and crispier alternative to the traditional samosas, thanks to the delicate layers of phyllo pastry. They retain the delicious flavors and aromas of the classic samosa while providing a unique twist to the presentation and texture.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/phyllo-dough-cripsy-vegetable-samosas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/phyllo-dough-cripsy-vegetable-samosas.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/phyllo-dough-cripsy-vegetable-samosas-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/phyllo-dough-cripsy-vegetable-samosas-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/phyllo-dough-samosas-crispy-.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Air Fried Phyllo Dough Samosas | Perfect Indian Appetizer<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Appetiser<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT15M\">15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT12M\">12 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT27M\">27 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making filling[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mixed vegetables, cut small- 2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cooked potatoes- 2, mashed well<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Kashmiri chili powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander powder- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chaat masala- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making samosa[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Phyllo dough sheets<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Egg, beaten- 1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">I&#8217;ve taken store-bought phyllo dough, thaw it well by keeping the dough on the countertop for a couple of hours.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">First, let&#8217;s make the filling, I&#8217;m making vegetable filling.
