Snacks are a crucial component of every Diwali party, and these samosa puffs increase the fun factor, with light and crispy pastry encasing a soft, cheesy interior. The cheddar cheese melts into the spiced potato mash once baked. Serve with your choice of hot sauce or green chutney for an added punch. (The green chutney from this chaat recipe is a great option.) Since these baked samosa puffs start with store-bought frozen puff pastry, they’re quite easy to make for a crowd.
