Cheesy Samosa Sliders are delicious easy oven-baked sliders that are full of flavor, giving a fun twist to Indian-style samosa buns. The sliders are layered with sauces- a creamy coriander one and tamarind chutney, along with shredded slaw and onions for crunch, crushed samosas for the body, and melted cheese making it a perfect bite. To take these sliders to the next level they are baked in the oven with a butter mixture poured over it which has seasonings and spices which soak into the buns and add this amazing flavor to the sliders. It’s an explosion of flavors and textures from the first to the last bite. I love making these sliders when I have guests over because it’s easy to make and cook in the oven and they’re so yummy that they are always wiped clean. You can use store-bought, frozen or homemade samosas for this recipe. It comes together in an hour and you won’t be able to stop with just one slider, I assure you that! Perfect for get-togethers, Diwali, the holiday season, or game day!!

Notes/Tips:

• Use savory slider buns. Sweet buns can make this recipe too sweet.

• I used Halidrams frozen cocktail samosas for this recipe.

• If you use big samosas cut them in half and then crush then and place them.

• You can use cheddar cheese slices if you want.

• If you don’t have Maggi sauce you can use a mixture of ketchup and sriracha.

• Do NOT forget to poke the holes in the slider buns.

• Covering with foil is a must.
