Spinach Packets (Cottage Cheese Stuffed)

After having seen spinach packets in the frozen section of the supermarket,though I did not find it

appealing to pick it up,I attempted making an Indian version of the same at home.

This goes best with hot masala chai and btw......'Anything deep-fried is so yummmmm at anytime of the day'.
