Method

Take Maida/all purpose flour in a bowl and add 2 tablespoon oil and salt to it and mix it well with your fingers.

Make a little stiff dough with the help of little water, cover it and keep it aside

In a bowl mix spinach leaves, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, tomato ketchup, green chili, ginger paste, garam masala, coriander powder, red chili powder and salt together.

Mix it well.  Make 8-10 balls out of this filling

Out of the dough make 8-10 small balls.

Roll out each ball to 4” diameter pancake.

Place 1 ball of filling in each pancake and spread it over the pancake so that it will form a thick layer over the pancake.

Now tightly roll the pancake like a Swiss roll.

Cut each roll into 4 small rolls.

Heat oil in a Kadhai/wok.

Fry all the rolls over medium heat to golden.

Turn occasionally so that all rolls are uniformly fried from all sides.

Remove the rolls from oil.

Serve while hot with tea or as a starter.
