Blistered, flaky pastry from frozen or fresh, no pan of oil in sight.
Samosa pastry is laminated and dry, so it needs a brush of oil to blister rather than go papery. Do the edges as well as the flat faces.

Test-kitchen tip
Cook from frozen. Defrosted samosas go limp and the pastry tears when you brush it.
