Calories 146kcal

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 1 cup spinach (I used the frozen kind which is already shredded, and squeezed out the water)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water (combined to make the egg wash)
  • 20 samosa pastry strips
  • 1 cup flour + 1/2 cup water (mixed together to form a thick paste)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, feta cheese, spinach, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix until full incorporated. A couple of things to note: make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so that it is easier to mix it. Also, all excess water should be squeezed out from the spinach.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F / 200 C and prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it with oil. Set aside.
  • Place a samosa pastry strip vertically on a plate / tray, and start by adding about 1-2 teaspoons of the spinach cheese on the bottom corner.
  • Fold the samosa pastry corner over the samosa filling. Then from the opposite side fold over the corner into the opposite direction. Continue until you have a triangle shaped parcel, and then using your finger to spread the flour / water paste seal over the rectangular flap of the samosa pastry over to completely seal the samosa. Do watch the video for a visual tutorial on how to fold the samosas.
  • Continue until all samosas have been filled.
  • Place prepared samosas on baking sheet and lightly brush each samosa with egg wash on both sides.
  • Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the samosas are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve immediately.
