Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds and asafoetida, when it crackles, add onions and saute till it turns soft.

Mix in potatoes, mash them a little and saute again for around 2 minutes. Leave it cool before using it.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, carom seeds and oil. Rub the flours with your fingers to form a crumby texture.
Now add water little by little and try to bring it together and knead it to a firm dough. Cover the bowl and leave it to rest for 15-20 minutes.
Before proceeding to roll it knead it well once again for 2-3 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 portion, roll each portion into a chapati and cut into halves or semi circles.
Take a half part and on the straight end apply a little water and shape it up into a cone. Put spoonful of filling and seal the edges carefully using a little water.
Repeat with the remaining halves and filling to make more samosas.
Heat oil in a kadhai and deep-fry the samosas on a slow flame till golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper.
