Puff pastry samosa is a very delicious and light snack with a crispy and golden flaky texture on the outside and a yummy savory filling on the inside.These flaky and irresistibly delicious puff pastry samosa are a great for picnics , festival gatherings and potlucks .

Puff Pastry sheets can be found in freezer section and chilled section of the supermarket. I have used sheets from the chilled section.  Puff pastry sheets should not be mistaken with Phyllo/Filo sheets as they are both different.

• Join and lightly press the edges of the pastry .Press the corners  with a fork to seal the edges.
