Puff Pastry Samosa Pinwheels
January 27, 2025
With cooked potatoes, peas, raisins, cashews, ginger, chili and paneer cheese all rolled up like a cinnamon roll and baked, our 5-step Puff Pastry Samosa Pinwheels are like samosas, only trendier, and every bit as delicious.
The paneer melds with the chutney and raisins to create a nice, soft texture that complements the pastry’s natural, savory flake and subtle sweetness. Each bite feels like pulling on your favorite fall sweater — it’s warm and welcoming — like you’ve known it your whole life.
We think these pinwheels would be perfect for your next party spread or to serve as an appetizer for an upcoming dinner party. But don’t be surprised when they steal the spotlight — they simply look too good to go unnoticed.
Here’s the recipe:
