I prefer the air fryer as they give the perfect crisp without extra calories.

Bring the samosas out of the air fryer.
Serve and enjoy.
How To Reheat In The Microwave
This is not the best way of reheating samosa as they can make them chewy or soggy. However, if you do it right, you can achieve a good result. Here's how to:
Remove the Samosas from their packaging.
Arrange them on a microwaveable plate.
Put the plate in the microwave.
Set the microwave to high settings and microwave Samosas at 30 seconds intervals till they are heated through.
Don't cover the Samosas in the microwave as the steam when covered can make them soggy.
Also, don't Reheat for too long as they can become rubbery and dry out.
How To Reheat Samosas on Stovetop
Place a skillet, or pan on medium heat.
Arrange Samosas on the skillet. Don't overcrowd the skillet.
Heat on medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
Turn the samosa and heat the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Once they are heated through and crisp, take the skillet of heat and serve the warmed Samosas.
Reheating Samosa By Deep Frying
This is not the healthiest option for reheating samosas, however, if you don't mind the extra calories from the oil then this is how to go about it:
Place a deep pot on the stove on medium heat. Add oil into the pot.
When the oil is heated, gently add the samosas and deep fry for 2 minutes or till they are heated through and crispy.
Bring them out of the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate.
Serve and enjoy.
You can also reheat them in an electric deep fryer.
Of course, this is the less healthy way, but if you prefer deep frying food, then this is the way to go.
Reheating Samosas On The Grill
Reheating on the grill is also easy. The bbq grill adds some bbq or smokey flavor to the samosas.
To reheat on the grill, arrange the samosas on the grill. Heat them for 2 minutes on one side, flip them with a tong, and heat for another 2 minutes or till warmed through.
Use low heat as using high heat will burn the samosas without heating them inside.
