Vegetable crepe is combination of Indian filling and France crepe. Generally it prepared either sweet or savory. The filling is differed. Sweet version are filled with banana,sugar or drizzled with honey. Today, I have made savory one filled with vegetables,paneerand cheese mixed with Indian spices. It can be served for breakfast or filling evening snack. The crepe alone can be served as it is. The outer layer of crepe will be soft because of all purpose flour and inside cheesy with vegetables.
Ingredients:
Crepe batter:
All purpose flour/maida- 1 cup
Milk - 1 cup
Water - 1 cup
Egg - 1 (add 1/2 cup yogurt for egg alternative)
Chili flake - 1 tsp
Cilantro- Chopped
Butter- 1 tbsp melted
Stuffing:
Garlic- 3 chopped
Green chili-1 finely chopped
onion- 1
Green capsicum/ green peppers- 1
Carrot- 1
Potato- 1
Paneer- grated 1 cup
Cheese- 1 cup
Salt - required
Chili powder-1/2 tsp
Jeera/cumin powder -1/2 tsp
Chaat masala- 1/2 tsp
Ketchup - 1 tbsp
Cilantro - few
Recipe:

*Boil potato and grate to avoid lumps.
* Grate paneer and cheese.
1. Crepe preparation:
1. In bowl ,add all ingredients under crepe preparation and mix well.( The batter should not be thin nor thick.The batter should be right consistency to pour the batter and easy to fold while stuffing)
2. In a skillet, apply oil and pour batter, prepare a thin crepe. ( don’t have to be crispy). Once it is cooked,before it turn crispy,remove and save it in a plate.
2.Crepe filling preparation:

3. Add ketchup and cilantro. Mix well and transfer to a bowl.
4. Let it cool down and add shredded cheese.( Adding cheese to hot filling, will melt cheese immediately and become sticky).Mix well.
3.Crepe stuffing.
1. Mix all purpose flour/maida with water in a bowl to seal the crepe.
2. Place prepared filling on top of crepe and seal on four side with batter prepared with maida/all purpose flour. (Cheese lovers can add shredded cheese on top of the filling for extra cheese ness)
4.Crispy crepe preparation:
1. In a skillet,add oil or butter and cook the stuffed crepe till outer layer is crispy and brown. Also, inside the cheese melts.( Butter gives extra cripsiness to the crepe).
Note:
* Crepe alone can be served as it is as savory crepe.
* Stuffing and spices can be altered according to individual preferences.
* Instead of Indian spices, can add Italian seasoning and chili flakes for filling.
* Use 1/2 cup yogurt/curd for vegetarian instead of egg.
