Preheat oven to 200°C.
Heat 2 tbsps oil in a non-stick pan, add cumin seeds, onion, ginger and green chillies and saute till soft. Add tomatoes, turmeric powder and salt, mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture into a bowl.
Grate cottage cheese into the bowl and mix well.
Dust the dough balls with a little dry flour and roll out into 4-inch discs.
Take a little water in a bowl and a little oil in another bowl.
Cut mozzarella cheese into thick strips.
Place a little cottage cheese mixture on each disc at one end. Dampen the edges. Place a mozzarella cheese strip over the cottage cheese mixture. Fold the other end over the stuffing to make a half moon shape and press the edges to seal.
