  1. Preheat oven to 200° C.
  2. Mix together semolina, khoya, salt, milk and ghee in a bowl and knead to a semi soft dough. Cover and rest the dough for a while.
  3. Heat oil in a non-stick pan, add cumin seeds and once they begin to change colour, add ginger and sauté for half a minute. Add cottage cheese, coriander powder, red chilli powder and garam masala powder and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Transfer this into another bowl and mix well. Add raisins, cashewnuts, potatoes and salt and mix well.
  4. Finely chop coriander and add and mix well.
  5. Divide the dough into 16 equal portions. Shape each portion into a katori, place one portion of the paneer-potato mixture, gather the edges and roll into a ball. Seal neatly, flatten slightly and shape into an oval. These are tootaks. Arrange them on a baking tray.
  6. Melt saffron in 2 tbsps water in a small bowl in microwave for 15 seconds. Add rose water and mix well.
  7. Brush the tootaks with saffron-rose water and put the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Arrange them on a serving plate and serve hot.
