Ingredients
For the Vegetable Batter:
- Boiled Corn: 1.5 tbsp
- Mixed Veggies Finely Chopped: 3 tbsp each of Tomato, Capsicum, Carrot, Onion, and Cabbage.
- Fresh Coriander: A handful chopped.
- Ginger-Garlic-Chilli Paste: 1 tsp crushed together.
- Gram Flour Besan: 1.5 tbsp
- All-Purpose Flour Maida: 1.5 tbsp
- Cornflour: 1.5 tbsp
- Salt to taste.
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder.
- Cheese: 1 cube processed cheese grated.
- Water: As needed to make a thick batter.
- Butter/Oil: 1/2 tsp for the batter optional.
For Cooking:
- Leftover Chapatis/Rotis: 2-3 preferably slightly thick.
- Oil or Butter: For frying.
Instructions
- Prepare the Veggie Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled corn, chopped onion, tomato, capsicum, carrot, and cabbage. You can also add French beans or spinach if available. Add the chopped coriander leaves.
- Add Flours and Spices: Add the Gram flour (Besan), All-purpose flour (Maida), and Cornflour to the vegetables. Add the crushed ginger-garlic-chilli paste, salt, and turmeric powder.
- Make the Batter: Add water gradually and mix well to form a thick batter. It should not be runny; it needs to be spreadable. Add grated cheese and half a teaspoon of butter to the batter for extra flavour and mix again.
- Coat the Chapati: Take a leftover chapati. Spread a generous layer of the vegetable batter evenly on one side of the chapati.
- Pan Fry the Pizza: Heat a tawa (griddle) on medium flame. Drizzle some oil or butter. Carefully place the chapati on the tawa with the batter side facing down.
- Cook Until Crispy: Cook on low-to-medium heat to ensure the veggies cook through and the crust becomes golden brown. You can drizzle a little oil around the edges.
- Flip and Roast: Once the bottom layer is crispy and releases from the pan easily, flip the chapati. Roast the plain side for a minute until crisp. Press down gently with a spatula to cook evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Top with extra grated cheese, tomato ketchup, or mayonnaise if desired. Cut into slices and serve hot!
