    Method

    1. 1

      Mix the yogurt with the salt, spices, chile, cilantro, ginger and paneer. Spoon into a piping bag.

    2. 2

      Pipe logs about 7 cm (3 in) long onto a lined tray and freeze until solid, at least 2 hours.

    3. 3

      Tease out small bundles of kataifi and wrap each frozen log snugly, covering it completely.

    4. 4

      Return to the freezer for 30 minutes so the shape holds.

    5. 5

      Fry from frozen at 175°C (350°F) for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain and serve right away with mint chutney.
