Prepare the dough by taking 1 cup of all-purpose flour, adding 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed carom seeds.

Mix in 3-4 tablespoons of oil until crumbly; check by forming a fist to see if it holds together.

Gradually add water to form a dough that is neither too hard nor too soft; let it rest with a little oil on top for 10 minutes.

Boil 4 large potatoes until tender, then mash them in a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1 teaspoon black salt, 1 teaspoon chaat masala, and 1 teaspoon turmeric powder to the mashed potatoes.

Mix in 1 finely chopped green chili and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro; also add 1 tablespoon of rice flour or cornflour to the mixture.

Combine all ingredients well to prepare the stuffing and set aside.

Divide the rested dough into four parts; take one part and roll it into a thin circle.

Cut the circle into a semi-circle using a pizza cutter or knife.

Place the stuffing evenly on one side of the semi-circle, ensuring it's spread out evenly.

Fold the other half over the stuffing and press the edges to seal, ensuring no stuffing escapes.

Cut the filled samosa into four parts and shape them as desired, ensuring they are well sealed.

Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat; once hot, fry the samosas one by one until golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Once golden, remove the samosas from the oil and drain on paper towels; serve garnished with tomato ketchup and fresh cilantro.
