Potato spinach and peanut pinwheels

Ingredients:

4-5 boiled potatoes mashed
1/2 cup blanched spinach, puréed(do not add water, must be as thick as can be)
1/2 cup coarsely grounded peanuts
1 teaspoon jeera
2 tablespoons mint leave finely chopped
Breadcrumbs as required
Red chilli powder to taste
Salt to taste
Coriander powder (dhania to taste)
Oil for frying 

Add the jeera, salt and red chillies to the mashed potatoes and mix well. You may need to add some breadcrumbs so that it doesn't break on frying.

Spread a layer of this on aluminium foil.

Mix the mint leaves with the spinach purée and add some salt. (If the purée is too thin, cook it a while until it thickens, if nothing held, add some gram flour and cook a bit).

Layer this on the potato.

Now with the help of the foil roll into a log. 

Dip this log into the crushed groundnuts and slightly press, so that the groundnuts firmly embed into the potatoes and not come out while frying. 

Cut into 1/2 inch thick circles and deep fry on medium high flame.

Serve hot with tomato ketchup or mint chutney.
