Flaky pastry filled with a delicious mixture of spinach, feta cheese, onions, and aromatic Indian spices, baked to a perfect golden brown. A filling and satisfying vegetarian snack, perfect for lunch or a light meal.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add grated ginger and minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the thawed and squeezed spinach to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Stir in garam masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute.
Remove from heat and stir in crumbled feta cheese and lemon juice. Let the mixture cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 8 equal squares (or desired samosa shape).
Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta filling in the center of each square.
Fold the pastry over to form a triangle (or desired shape). Press the edges firmly to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges for a better seal.
Place the samosas on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the samosas with the beaten egg (egg wash).
Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional).
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Nutrition per serving (100g)
Make sure to squeeze out as much excess water as possible from the thawed spinach to prevent soggy samosas.
Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred spice level.
For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the filling.
These samosas can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving. You can also freeze them before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Serve with your favorite chutney, raita, or yogurt dip.
