Quesadillas


A mexican version of our very own Indian stuff paranthas, served in a mexican style with a dip.. Its generally a tortilla which is made of all purpose flour / corn flour / wheat flour and stuffed with a cheese based filling, grilled and served with a sweet and spicy dip.. Its a complete meal in itself.. Roti sabzi is a staple food in my house.. Its cooked everyday without being asked about it.. Eating this everyday can get boring at times, and so i love to switch over to these quesadillas, which is a better alternative to the regular sabzi roti and also makes the meal all the more exciting..


Ingredients:
For dough
1 cup maida
1tbsp oil
Pinch salt
For filling
1tsp oil
1 medium capsicum chopped lengthwise
1 cup paneer grated
1/2 cup processed cheese grated
Salt
1tsp mixed herbs
1tsp red chilli flakes
For dip
2-3 tomatoes boiled, peeled and chopped
1 cube cheese grated
1tsp red chilli flakes
Salt
Method: mix ingredients of dough and make soft dough with water and keep aside. For the filling: Heat oil in a pan and saute capsicum for 2mins.. Cool and then mix in all other ingredients of filling and keep aside. For the dip: Heat 1tsp oil in a pan and add tomatoes. Once they are semi dry add salt, red chilli flakes and cheese. Mix well and remove in a bowl and keep aside. Now make small balls of dough and roll it. Heat a pan and cook lightly from one side.. Make all the tortillas same way.. Then spread the filling in half of it on the side which is cooked  and cover with the other half. Seal with a paste made with 1tbsp maida and little water.. Shallow fry on tawa using butter. Cut in wedges and serve with dip.

Variations: can use guacamole spread inside for filling, or even  rajma filling.. can also serve it with sour cream...
