Air Fried Spicy Fish and Potato Samosas

I love samosas, the hot and spicy Indian specialty made with deliciously spiced potatoes, vegetables and meat. In this recipe I mixed things up, using fish and carne asada seasoning. I chose mahi mahi as its firm, meaty texture holds together well when tossed around in a frying pan. Instead of making my own pastry I opted to use store bought puff pastry. I cooked the samosas in the air fryer instead of in oil and the results were delicious.

I hope you enjoy them!
