Why Puff Pastry?
This may just be my opinion, but I think that the most tedious part about making a samosa is creating the dough for the outer layer. As delicious and worthwhile as it may be to make that traditional samosa crust, there are days when you need something much faster. Puff pastry won’t give you the same texture as a regular samosa crust, but it has a delicious and satisfying texture in it’s own right.
What is that Delicious Chutney on the Side?
It’s a well known fact that you can’t eat a samosa without a big side of sweet and spicy tamarind chutney. There are some store-bought versions you can purchase when you’re in a pinch, but I highly recommend checking out my homemade version.

Puff Pastry Samosa Bites – Instructions
- Before doing anything else to create your puff pastry samosa bites, start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees.
- Next, either boil or microwave your potatoes until they are cooked thoroughly and then break up the potatoes with a fork. However, make sure you don’t mash them up too much because we still want some chunks of potatoes in our mixture for added texture.
- In a pan, heat up your oil to a medium heat and then add in your cumin seeds. Sauteé the mixture for about 20 – 30 seconds.
- Then, add in your red onions, and sauté until they are translucent.
- Now, add in the rest of your spices except for the salt and mix well.
- Next, add in your potatoes and peas, and a few tbsp of water to prevent the mixture from drying out.
- Once you have the right texture, you can add the salt as a final step.
- Cut up your puff pastry sheet into 6 evenly sized rectangular pieces and roll each piece into a cone. Seal the edge of your cone with some water and press firmly.
- Fill your cone with the potato stuffing you just made, and then close off the bottom of the cone, once again using water to seal off the edges.
- Finally, pop your puff pastry samosas into the oven for about 22 minutes. Then, serve with a tamarind chutney and enjoy!
