To prepare, these samosas can be baked in an oven or fried. For baking, preheat your oven and place the frozen samosas on a baking sheet. Bake until they are golden brown and heated through. If frying, heat oil in a pan to the recommended temperature and fry the samosas in batches until they achieve a crisp, golden exterior. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving.
