How to Assemble the Masala Veggie Quesadilla

1. Heat a tawa or pan on medium. Place the roti on it for 10–15 seconds on each side so it becomes soft and pliable (not crispy yet). Place it aside. Next, Spread a thin layer of mint chutney over the roti. Sprinkle cheese over the chutney. Add the masala veggie filling and spread it evenly. Top with a bit more cheese. Fold the roti in half, pressing gently so the filling is sealed inside.

2. Cook the quesadilla by heating a pan with a few drops of oil or butter, then placing the folded roti on the pan. Let it cook on medium heat for 2–3 minutes until it becomes golden and crisp, then flip and cook the other side until the cheese melts and the edges turn perfectly crispy. 

3. Once done, let it rest for about 30 seconds, then slice it into 2–4 wedges using a sharp knife. Serve the quesadilla hot with your favorite dips—mint chutney, ketchup.

Adjust spice levels as per your taste.
