Ingredients
  

  • 250 g paneer cut in small cubes
  • 2 cups baby spinach washed and dried
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chili powder optional
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 2 fresh chilis optional
  • 2-3 tbsp coriander leaves chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 8 whole wheat tortillas or regular tortillas
  • 3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2-3 tbsp oil
  • salt to taste

Equipment

  • Tawa (Indian skillet) or any skillet
  • Shallow cooking pot

Method
 

  1. Heat the cooking pot with the oil and temper it with the cumin seeds. When they sizzle, add the onions and fry until soft and transparent
  2. Add the ginger-garlic paste along with the chilis (if using) and cook for couple minutes and add in all the spice powders and salt. Cook this adding a dash of water until the oil separates
  3. Next, add the frozen veggies and cook for 3-4 minutes and then add in the paneer and spinach. Mix well, cover and cook on medium heat, for 5-7 minutes. The paneer should be well incorporated with masala
  4. Turn the flame off and stir in the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice. Keep this aside to cool
To make the quesadillas
  1. Place your skillet over medium-low flame and lightly brush it with oil. Place a tortilla on it and layer it with 3-4 tbsp of the paneer-spinach, onion slices, baby spinach leaves and mozzarella. Place another tortilla over and cook for 2 minutes
  2. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Once well browned, remove from heat and slice it up
  3. Serve your yummy spicy vegetable quesadilla with paneer along with ketchup and an avocado dip. Enjoy!
