  2. Take coriander leaves, garlic cloves, green chilies and salt together in a motor pestle. Crush them finely.
  3. Take two slices of cottage cheese and put some prepared coriander mixture in between the slices (this will look like cute small sandwiches).
  4. Repeat the process with other slices and keep the sandwiches aside.
  5. Now prepare a batter of all purpose flour with water. This batter should be of a coating consistency, (This mixture should not be very thick).
  6. Heat enough oil in a deep pan.
