Cheesy Encounters

I hate to waste food and get bored to have the same type of food repeatedly...well... who doesn't?
I had no clue what I was going to do with the remaining paneer butter masala but I was keen on creating a dish with a difference.I checked the fridge for alternate ingredients and started working on them.I ended up with a dish that was very appetizing and scrumptious....and that is the story of the origin of Cheesy Encounters.

This recipe serves 1.

INGREDIENTS

egg(medium) - 2
milk - 4 tbsp
tortilla(fajita size) - 1
onion(finely chopped) - 2 tbsp
Green chillies and cilantro(finely chopped)- 1 tbsp
Spring onions(optional)- 1 tbsp finely chopped
Shredded cheese(I use shredded Mexican four cheese) - 1/2 cup
Cheese singles - 1 slice
Tomato ketchup or salsa(optional) - 1 tbsp
Pepper and salt - to taste
Cooking spray or oil(1 tsp)
left over gravy or any cooked veggies for filling - 4 to 5 tbsp

METHOD

1)Beat the egg with a fork or an egg beater.Add the onions,green chillies,ketchup,spring onions,salt,pepper and milk and beat well.Divide the mixture into 2 parts.

2)Grease a flat skillet(this skillet should be at least two sizes bigger than the tortilla) with cooking spray or use 1/2 tsp of oil to coat the skillet.Heat to medium heat and pour in half of the egg mixture to make an omelet.

3)When the omelet starts cooking,place a tortilla in the center of the omelet and press very slightly to set the tortilla into the omelet.Then pour the remaining egg mixture all over the tortilla and cook for 40 seconds.




5)Bring the heat to low.Sprinkle shredded cheese all over the omelet-tortilla combo.Then place the gravy or vegetable filling in the combo in such a way that the filling is contained within the center of the tortilla,You may add salt and pepper to the vegetable filling if desired.If you are using the gravy which is already spiced up ,you need not add more seasoning to it.Then add a little shredded cheese on the gravy or filling.

6)Now turn in one side of the egg combo over the filling.Then flip the other side over it.You can use bits of cheese singles to paste the layers one over another.Repeat the same with the two ends of the egg combo and seal it using the cheese singles' bits.





7)Press gently using a spatula on all four sides of the combo until the cheese melts to seal all sides.Switch off the heat and let this cool for at least 5 minutes or until cheese solidifies.Here comes the tricky part.Carefully flip the roll over,bringing the sealed side down.





8)Serve hot with ketchup and chips.


This is a very tasty and filling meal.

Every time I make any gravy items,the next day's lunch is definitely "Cheesy Encounters".

My husband and I love this dish so much that I always make a little extra gravy so that we can indulge in "Cheesy Encounters".

Hope you enjoy this dish.I will be back with some yummy chicken recipes......until then..happy cooking !!!
