Tacos: Fusion crispy rotis filled with spiced paneer and veggies

Step 1: The Pop (The Sizzling Filling)

This step creates a dry, spicy filling that won’t make your rotis soggy.

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
2. Toss in the onions, capsicum, and corn. Sauté on high heat for 2 minutes until they are slightly charred but crunchy.
3. Add the paneer cubes.
4. What to look for: Sauté until the paneer turns light golden on the edges.

Step 2: The Base (Seasoning & Chutney Prep)

This step builds the “Desi” flavor profile.

1. Turn the heat to low. Add Turmeric, Red Chilli Powder, Garam Masala, and Salt.
2. Mix well for 1 minute so the spices coat the paneer and veggies. Turn off the heat and sprinkle Chat Masala on top.
3. Important Tip: Spread a thin layer of Green Chutney on one side of each roti. This acts as the “glue” and adds a refreshing kick.

Step 3: The Dust (The Crispy Shell)

This step transforms soft rotis into crunchy, folded taco shells.

1. Place a generous portion of the paneer-veg filling on one half of the chutney-lined roti. Fold it over to make a semi-circle.
2. Heat a flat tawa with a little butter or oil.
3. Place the folded roti on the tawa. Press down gently with your Masala Way tongs or a spatula.
4. What to look for: Flip and cook on low-medium heat until both sides are dark golden and extra crispy. The roti should hold its “U” shape when picked up.
