Crumble 7 oz of store-bought paneer and let it sit at room temperature.

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a small pan over low heat.

Add 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp of red chili powder, 1/4 tsp of cumin powder, chat masala, amchur, and salt to the crumbled paneer and mix well.

Sauté the paneer mixture in the heated oil for about 1 minute to incorporate the spices.

Let the paneer mixture cool down.

Dust a surface with all-purpose flour and roll out one puff pastry sheet.

Spread the paneer mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving one edge open for sealing.

Roll the puff pastry tightly into a log, sealing the edge with water.

Cut the rolled pastry into even pieces, about half an inch thick.

Arrange the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with foil and lightly greased with cooking oil.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15 minutes, watching for a golden color.
