Desi Quesadillas

A typical quesadilla- the Mexican dish and type of sandwich comprises of a flat round bread made of cornmeal or flour and filled with cheese, meats & spices and then cooked on a griddle. But our Desi low-carb Quesadilla is close to a doppelganger of the popular Mexican dish but reimagined with Indian low-carb ingredients.

These desi low-carb quesadillas are very easy to make and hardly takes 10 minutes to prepare. They are a perfect tea-time snack and can also be enjoyed any time snack cravings strike while you're on a keto or a low-carb diet.
