Cheese samosa from puff pastry
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. For making these samsa, we will need any brined cheese. In this case, it's "Suluguni." Cheese samsa made with puff pastry is an amazing snack that can be enjoyed both hot and cold. Optionally, sprinkle the top with sesame seeds for extra flavor—they go perfectly with the samsa. Look, the pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
