Crispy Besan Potato Roti Pizza (Jugaad Magic)

Ever had those days when there’s perfectly good roti and aloo sabji… but kids just refuse to eat it?
Here’s a smart, tasty twist that turns simple sabji into something exciting, crispy, and totally kid-approved — a desi-style roti pizza!


Ingredients

  • 1 bowl potato sabji (dry aloo bhaji)
  • 2 rotis
  • ½ cup besan (gram flour)
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp carrom seed powder (ajwain powder)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder (optional)
  • Salt as per taste
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander
  • Water (as required to make batter)
  • 1–2 tsp oil (for roasting)
  • Green mint chutney (optional)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare Batter & Roti Base

  • In a bowl, add besan, turmeric powder, carrom seed powder, red chilli powder (optional), sesame seeds,  salt, and chopped coriander.
  • Gradually add water and mix to make a smooth, slightly thick pouring batter (slurry consistency).
  • Take a roti and spread a thin layer of green chutney (if using).
  • Evenly spread the potato sabji over the roti.

Step 2: Cook & Add Besan Layer

  • Heat a tawa and lightly grease it with oil.
  • Place the prepared roti on the tawa with the sabji side facing up.
  • Now pour and gently spread the besan batter evenly over the sabji layer.
  • Drizzle a little oil on top, cover with a lid, and cook on low flame for 2 minutes.

Step 3: Flip & Roast

  • Carefully flip the roti.
  • Cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden and crispy.

Step 4: Repeat & Serve

  • Repeat the same process for the second roti.
  • Once done, remove from tawa and cut into  pizza-style slices.
  • Serve hot with chutney or enjoy as it is!

 Tips & Variations

  • Add grated cheese for a cheesy version kids will love.
  • Mix finely chopped onions, capsicum, or even grated carrot into the batter.
  • You can use other leftover sabjis like paneer bhurji or mixed vegetables.
  • Always cook on low flame so the besan layer cooks properly without burning.
