PANEER QUESADILLAS

Quesadillas are a Mexican speciality however, with fusion food in vogue and paneer being an all time favourite of my nephews and our friends here in Charleston, I decided to add a twist to the traditional quesadillas.

Now I make paneer at home from whole milk.  I prefer the freshness of the home cooked paneer however store bought paneer also works well.  I gently crumble the paneer and add green chillies (chopped finely) and chopped cilantro, small diced capsicum, onion, mushrooms, salt and taco seasoning.  This mixture is then spread onto half a  tortilla, some shredded Mozzarella is added onto the paneer and then the other half of the tortilla is folded over the paneer mixture to create a semi circle.  I then heat a griddle pan and roast this tortilla until crispy. Quick and easy fusion food for paneer lovers in a few minutes.
