To prepare, these samosas are typically heated until they are warm and crispy. They can be baked in an oven or fried in a pan. Baking offers a less oily option, while frying can result in an extra-crisp exterior. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving to enjoy their best texture and flavor. They are often served with a variety of chutneys or dipping sauces to complement the savory filling.
