While Trader Joe's offers plenty of [sweet pumpkin products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-bites), its new Mini Spicy Pumpkin Samosas are perfect for those who love fall flavors and a bit of heat. The autumnal appetizer features a [golden, flaky pastry exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-sausage-red-pepper-pasty), just like the traditional Indian dish. But instead of veggies, the inside is filled with spices like cumin, garam masala, coriander, chile powder, and fennel seeds, along with paneer cheese and real chunks of pumpkin. As Trader Joe's puts it, the dish is an"Indian-inspired appetizer that brings warmth and comfort to the season."
