Instructions
How to Mix Dough
In a large bowl mix, maida, oil, and salt. Mix well.
Now add water little by little and form a dough. Cover the dough with a wet cloth and set aside.
How to Make Tortilla
Now, evenly divide the dough into 4 round chapati balls.
Roll out the dough similar to chapati, and cook on a non- stick pan. Just cook for 1 min on each side. Cook all the tortillas and keep them aside.
How to Make Stuffing
Heat butter in a pan.
Add the sliced onions and cook them until they are lightly caramelized.
Add ginger-garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes off.
Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Add the spinach, and cook until the spinach is wilted.
Now add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder. Mix everything well and fry until the raw smell of masala goes off.
Remove from heat.
How to Assemble
First, divide the vegetables into two equal portions. Set aside.
Take a thin tortilla and spread some cheese and top it up with filling.
Again put one layer of cheese and put the second tortilla on top and press it to make it stick.
Add a few more drops of melted butter while pressing gently. (pressing will help the quesadilla stick together and should be easier to flip it over).
Cook until both sides are nice and crispy golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
Now gently put the quesadilla on a cutting board and cut into 4 (more or less) slices using a pizza cutter or knife. (you can simply cut it like pizza wedges).
Serve hot along with salsa, mayonnaise, or hot and sweet tomato ketchup and enjoy!!!
