Lightly brush halved spring roll sheets with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Working one at a time, place filling by the tablespoon full at the bottom of a pastry strip. Take left corner across filling and place it on the right side to form a triangle. Fold it over again to form a next triangle, then take the right corner to left side and continue folding until strip is used up and no open edges remain. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling. Place samosas on prepared sheet and brush with oil. Bake until golden, 25 – 30 minutes.
