METHOD
Slit the green chillies and remove the seeds. Heat a pan, add cumin seeds, fennel seeds, carom seeds and black peppercorns and roast. Place ginger in a bowl, add potato and cottage cheese and mix. Pound the roasted spices in a mortar with a pestle along with salt, red chilli powder and dry mango powder. Add this to the potato mixture and mix well. Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan.
