Method

01 In a bowl mix the flour, salt, cumin and oil. Mix it all well and slowly add the water to it, mixing it well. You may not need all the water or may need a bit more. Knead the dough on a clean surface for 2 minutes until smooth and leave it to rest in a bowl covered with cling film for 15 minutes.

02 Divide the dough into 8 portions. Take one portion at a time and roll it into 7-8 inch big circle. Cook it on a flat hot skillet for a minute or so on each side until cooked. Cook all the chapattis the same way.

03 In another bowl mix all the filling ingredients and combine well.

04 Place one chapatti on a plate and sprinkle ¼ of the filling and place another chapatti on top. Heat a flat skillet and cook the quesadilla on each side for a couple of minutes. This will give the quesadillas a crispy outside and a gooey, cheesy filling. Slice them into quarters.

05 Now make the chutney by putting all the ingredients into the mixer and grind it to a smooth paste.

06 Serve the cheesy quesadilla with some chutney.
