Corn was indigenous to America, but is now grown throughout the world. It is used as a vegetable, briefly boiled or roasted or eaten with butter. And it would also interest you to know that the favourite popcorn, made by popping the small corn kernels, is a wholesome cereal food and is easily digested. Besides this, corn sees its use in various other ways – salads, soups, subzis and even sweets too!

Ingredients for Quesadillas Recipe

  • Cornmeal 1 cup

  • Kidney Beans 1/2 cup

  • Salt to taste

  • Milk 1/4 cup

  • Olive oil 2 tablespoons

  • Onion chopped 1 medium

  • Garlic chopped 3-4 cloves

  • Kidney beans boiled (rajma) 1 cup

  • Tomato ketchup 4 tablespoons

  • Green chillies chopped 2

  • Paprika 1 teaspoon

  • Fresh coriander leaves chopped 2 tablespoons

Method

Step 1

Mix together cornmeal, refined flour and salt. Knead it into a soft dough with milk and half a cup of water. Cover with a wet muslin cloth and set aside. Divide into equal portions and roll each portion into a thin chapatti of ten inches diameter.

Step 2

Lightly roast them on a hot tawa on both sides and set aside. These are tortillas. For stuffing, heat olive oil in a pan and sauté onion and garlic for a minute. Add boiled kidney beans, tomato ketchup, salt, green chillies, paprika, coriander leaves and cook for two to three minutes.

Step 3

Heat a tawa and place a tortilla on it. Spread some stuffing, top with cheese and cover with another tortilla. Spread some more stuffing and top with cheese and coriander leaves and cover with another tortilla. Dribble some olive oil all around. Turn when the underside is cooked and cook the other side similarly. Remove, cut into wedges and serve hot.
