Quesadillas are a good one-dish meal for kid's........ Though the stuffing for tortillas are endless, I have chosen a paneer and cheese combination to enrich it with calcium.

Ingredients

For the tortillas
1 cup maize flour (makai ka atta)
1 cup plain flour (maida)
3 tsp oil
3/4 tsp salt

To be mixed into a stuffing
3/4 cup paneer (cottage cheese)
1/4 cup grated cooking cheese
1/2 tsp chopped green chilli
1/2 cup tomatoes, without the pulp
2 tbsp cooked sweet corn (makai ke dane)
salt to taste

Other ingredients
3 tsp oil for cooking

Method

For the tortillas

Mix the flours, oil and salt and make a dough by adding enough warm water.
Knead the dough well and keep for ½ hour. Knead again.
Depending on the diameter you require for the dish, roll out the dough into
150 mm. (6") or 225 mm. (9") diameter thin rounds with the help of a little flour.
Cook lightly on a tava (griddle) and keep aside.

How to proceed

When you want to serve, spread a little stuffing on one tortilla. Put another tortilla
on top and press well so that they stick. Cook on a tava (griddle) spreading a little
oil on both sides. Cook until crisp.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and stuffing to make 11 more quesadillas.
Cut into pieces and serve hot.
