Preparation Instructions: Oven / Toaster Oven: Preheat your oven/toaster oven to *400 F. Spread the frozen Samosas on a lightly greased pan. Brush or spray Samosas lightly with vegetable oil. Bake for 10 -15 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Deep Frying: Preheat oil to *400 F. Depending on the size of the pan, gently fry the frozen Samosas for 7 - 10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Drain any excess oil on a paper towel.
