Preparation Method:

1. Make the Dough:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix on medium speed for about 60 seconds until well combined.
   • Add olive oil, eggs, and buttermilk. Mix on low speed for about 3 minutes until you have a smooth, homogeneous dough.

3. Shape the Samosas:

   • Roll out the dough on a floured surface using a rolling pin. Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter.
   • Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle, fold it over to form a half-moon shape, and press the edges with a fork to seal.

4. Fry the Samosas:

   • In a deep, wide pan, heat a generous amount of sunflower oil over medium heat until hot.
   • Carefully add the samosas to the oil, frying them until they are golden brown on both sides.

5. Drain and Serve:
