Homemade samosa bites are totally delicious, easy to make and perfect as part of Indian style nibbles.
Our samosa bites go just perfectly with spicy chicken skewers, mini poppadoms and Indian dips and oh so well with a gin and tonic!
We make the samosa bites Indian party food using shop bought filo pastry sheets, stuffed with a homemade spiced vegetable filling.
They do take a little time to make, but they’re well worth it when you eat them still warm from the oven.

- Add the tomato ketchup and stir gently, then leave the filling to cool.

- Take a filo sheet and brush with oil, cut into four.
- Take another filo sheet and brush with oil, cut in four and lay the squares across the first set in a star like shape.
- Add a spoonful of filling and bunch up the filo pastry to seal the parcel – brush the outside of the parcel with rapeseed oil and place on a non-stick baking sheet.
- Repeat until you used up all the filling.
- Bake in the oven for around 10 minutes until crisp and golden.
