To make Vegetable Cheese Crepes, you will need the following ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg, 2 cups milk, ½ cup water, 1 cup plain flour, 2 tablespoons of butter and salt until combined into a smooth batter. If preparing eggless crepes, combine ingredients for the eggless batter.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, heat a few drops of oil then pour a ladle-size (about 2-3 tablespoons) amount of batter and swirl into the skillet, evenly coating the base. Cook for about 1 minute until the crepe easily lifts, flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate to cool before stuffing. Repeat with remaining batter to make about 6-7 medium-sized crepes.
In a large saucepan, heat some oil and add 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic. Cook until light golden and fragrant.
Add 1 finely chopped medium onion and 2 or 3 green chilis. Sauté for a few minutes until soft and translucent.
Add 1 sliced bell pepper, 1 grated carrot, ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin powder and salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for about 1 minute.
Add 1 cup of cottage cheese or paneer, 1 tablespoon of lime juice and 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves. Stir to combine and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat.
Stir in ½ cup grated Cheddar cheese and about 2 teaspoons of red chili sauce, or to your taste. Mix to combine through. Allow mixture to cool before stuffing.
Working one-by-one, using the golden side of each crepe, spoon the prepared stuffing mixture into the center and fold the sides over into a square shape. Stick using a bit of plain flour and water. Continue with remaining crepes and filling mixture.
In a large, non-stick frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and fry both sides of the crepe squares until golden, crispy and delicious.
Serve hot and enjoy!
