Open-Faced Samosa Bites {Easy Appetizer}

These Open-Faced Samosa Bites are the perfect handheld appetizer and so easy to make with naan – no fiddling with phyllo pastry required.

Though the list of sauces to pair with this dish is endless, my cilantro chutney is super easy to make and can either be drizzled over top of the samosa bites or used as a dipping sauce. It adds some beautiful notes to this meal and takes no more than a few minutes to whip up! If cilantro is not your taste, you could even try a nice mango or tamarind chutney instead.

Samosas typically contain savoury ingredients like potatoes, peas and onions that are stuffed into a fried or baked pastry shell. For this recipe, I took all the components of a samosa and made them on little pieces of naan – it’s way easier than having to fiddle with phyllo pastry (and is healthier, too).
