Instructions
In a bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Gradually add water and knead into a firm dough. Cover and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and fennel seeds and let them crackle.
Add finely chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
Stir in red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Cook for another minute.
Add lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Mix well and turn off the heat. Let the filling cool completely.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball, then roll out into a thin oval shape. Cut the oval in half to create two semi-circles.
Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with about 1 tablespoon of onion filling.
Seal the open edges of the cone to form a triangular samosa, using a little water to help seal.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, deep-fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on paper towels and let them cool slightly before serving.
