Roti Quesadilla

chapatti · cheese · chili sauce · chilli · lockdown

No sliced bread, but have cheese cravings and you can only see leftover roti? Journeys ignited from this can either lead to brilliant discoveries, or land you flat, face down. Some may think I landed flat face down here, but I have no regrets. I have yet to have a better comforting, cheese-y and easy snack that brings the satiated feeling of delicious fullness. A leftover cold roti, a slice of generic cheese and the only gourmet is a homemade chilli sauce that I’ve been working on – but any brand that’s your favourite chilli sauce would work here – even chili garlic Asian-style sauce works. This is a snack that gets folded into a single leftover chapatti – grilled in a hot pan (no extra butter or oil – in other words, less work and cleaning up!) and that’s it!

Say what you will, but I’ve had this three days in a row at 5PM. Lockdown has brought in some real masterchef qualities!

This is a classic British snack inspired recipe - a mix between Welsh rarebit and cheese on toast - which is an open faced toast with a medley of melted cheese and dash of Worcestershire sauce. i add an egg into the cheese mix to help with setting of it, to add a bit of protein and to get that quiche-y type of topping! to this mix i also add a touch of mustard (English mustard is preferred!) for that little kick.

This is the best recipe I've ever discovered. As kids, my brother and I gorged on flaky-but-sturdy cheese straws on the streets of London. Perfectly seasoned, crispy cheese on top and toasted sesame seeds, peppery rosemary - oh my - so so divine! I adapted a recipe I found whilst scrolling Instagram and found this too good to be true. So a Saturday morning when I had three little children under my wings, I set about this recipe - and my God, it worked! It's a dleight to eat, and great to make with the kids!
