Assemble

  • Take one thawed puff pastry sheet on a working surface. Carefully open it.
  • Lightly Roll thawed puff pastry out into a large 9 x 13-inch rectangle. 
  • Transfer it to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Prick the inside of the rectangle with a fork, leaving the ¾ inch on all sides. This will prevent it from rising in the oven.
  • Spread half of the samosa filling on top of the puff pastry sheet leaving ¾ inch border on all four sides.

  • Fold the border on all sides. Then brush the border with melted butter. Sprinkle some Kalonji on the border.

  • Bake this samosa puff pastry tart at @400 degrees F. for about 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

  • Take it out of the oven. Let it cool down for about 5 minutes.
  • Then at the time of serving, drizzle garlic chutney, sweet chutney, and green chutney. And then sprinkle some sev, onion, and cilantro.

Notes, tips, and quick FAQs

  • I recommend serving this Samosa puff pastry tart straight out of the oven to get the best flavors. I have also tried them after 5 hours and the taste and texture were good too.
  • Roll the puff pastry very lightly, don’t give too much pressure.
  • Make sure you prick the pastry sheet before spreading the samosa filling.
Can I use other toppings?

Sure. Roasted vegetables, dabeli masala, or dry chole masala work well. Any cheeses or pizza-style toppings are also delicious.

Can you make this ahead of time?

To make it ahead, assemble the tarts up to 24 hours before you want to bake them and chill them in the fridge until needed.
This makes it a great dish to serve when entertaining, or a perfect prepare-ahead festival party starter as you can have it ready and waiting for baking.

How to store this Savory Tart?

If making it in advance or wanting to store leftovers, it can be kept at room temperature for a couple of hours or in the fridge for longer – up to 3 days.
You might want to reheat it in the oven until warm before eating it. Don’t microwave the tarts as the pastry will go soggy.

Can I freeze a Puff Pastry Tart?

No, I do not recommend freezing this samosa tart. Puff Pastry does not thaw well at all after being baked.

What is the best substitution for puff pastry?

You can substitute puff pastry sheets for pie crust. Just keep in mind the cooking times will change to adjust for the thicker crust.

What to serve with this Samosa Puff Pastry tart?

I love to drizzle all three chaat chutneys and sprinkle sev and onion. You can also add some sweet curd.
