For the stuffing

Cut the paneer into 8 equal rectangular portions and keep aside.
Combine the curds, ginger garlic paste, green chilli paste, chilli powder and salt in a bowl and mix well.
Add the paneer, toss gently and keep aside to marinate for atleast ½ an hour.

How to proceed

Place a spinach leaf on a clean dry surface and place a piece of paneer piece at its broad end.
Fold in the edges of the leaf and start rolling from the broad end towards the tapering end.
Dip it in the batter and deep–fry in hot oil till the pakoda turns light brown in colour and crisp from all sides.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 7 more pakodas. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot with dahiwali phudina chutney.
