Ingredients:

  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup boneless chicken, cubed
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon tandoori masala
  • 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (red, green, yellow)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • Cooking oil for grilling

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, tandoori masala, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Add chicken cubes to the marinade and ensure they are evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken until it is cooked through and golden brown. Set aside.
  4. Place a flour tortilla on a flat surface and spread a layer of grilled chicken, shredded cheese, bell peppers, onions, and fresh coriander leaves on one half of the tortilla.
  5. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  6. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil. Place the filled tortilla on the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping halfway through.
  7. Once cooked, remove from the pan and cut the quesadilla into wedges.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney. Enjoy the delicious fusion flavors of Tandoori Quesadillas!
