Notes

• I used Parotta's to make Quesadilla.you can replace with Tortilla's or thick Chapathi's.
• Adding tomato gives mild tangy taste to Quesadilla.
• Garam Masala enhances the flavour of filling.
• if Tortilla's are large, place the filling at the corner of tortilla's & just fold it.
• Finally cook on both sides, till it turns crisp & golden for crispier Quesadilla's.
• Always serve Quesadilla's hot.
