Ingredients:

  • Uncooked Chapati - 10-12
  • Any cooked dry sabzi or spiced vegetables of choice - 2 cups
  • Mozzarella cheese - 1 cup
  • Ketchup - 1 tbsp
  • Oil or Mayonnaise - 1 tbsp
  • Water - 1 tbsp

Method:

  • Make slits in the uncooked chapati like drawing the radius of the circle
  • Smear water on one side of the chapati, along the edges and the slit line
  • Place a tbsp of cooked dry sabzi on one-third of the chapati
  • Spread ketchup on the next third of the chapati
  • Place some cheese on the last third of the chapati
  • Fold the fillings over each other as shown in the pictures below 
  • Seal the edges firmly to keep all the stuffing inside
  • Apply a tsp of oil or some mayonnaise on both sides of the veggie pockets
  • Air fry/bake them at 400° F (205° C) for approximately 15 minutes on each side (or until golden brown) 
  • Serve hot with sauce, ketchup, or any chutneys. 


Tips and Tricks:

  • Dry sabzis without gravy work better so the outside can become crunchy
  • The stuffings can be layered on one half of the chapati and folded over like an empanada  
  • Mayonnaise makes the outer shell crispy due to the egg in it
