Just because you follow a vegan lifestyle doesn't mean you can't enjoy of a tasty appetizer! Check out this fantastic recipe for vegan air fried cheese samboosa!
This crispy little pastry pocket is served with a cashew cheese mixed with nutritional yeast for cheesier flavor, perfect for those who are looking for a healthier option! Guaranteed to become your new favorite snack!
Add all the cheese ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into a small saucepan on medium heat, then using a wooden spoon or spatula, continuously stir while cooking. You will see small clumps start to form as you do and at about the five minute mark your mixture should turn into one big gooey mass of cheese. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to one minute to ensure everything is firmed up.
Store in a glass container and allow to cool in the fridge for at least 30 mins before handling.
To assemble place a samosa pastry sheet vertically on a cutting board or plate and start by adding a light wash of water using a pastry brush - this helps the edges stick together better (depending on how dry/moist your sheets are you may be able to skip this step).
Add about 1-2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture to the far right corner, then using the bottom right "point" fold the pastry over the filling in a triangle shape. Then take the top right point of that triangle and fold horizontally, alternating the previous two steps until you have a triangle shaped parcel, sealing down the final flap.
Continue until all samosa sheets are used up.
Brush each samboosa lightly with olive oil on each side, then place 4-6 parcels at a time in your air fryer basket and cook on 200 C for 6-10 minutes until slightly browned and crisp.
