Method

Prep the vegetables

Rinse Onion, Capsicum, Tomato, and Green Chillies. Pat them dry, then finely chop everything into small, even pieces so they spread nicely through the batter. If your Sweet Corn is frozen or canned, drain it well and keep it ready.

Make the batter

In a mixing bowl, combine Semolina, Yogurt, Water, and Salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth and thick enough to mound slowly off the spoon, adding a splash more water only if it feels too stiff.

Rest the batter

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the semolina softens and the mixture thickens. Stir once after resting; it should look glossy and spreadable.

Season the filling

Stir in the chopped onion, capsicum, tomato, green chillies, sweet corn, and Chilli Flakes. Mix well so the vegetables are evenly distributed, then adjust the salt if needed; the batter should taste nicely savory before it goes on the pan.

Preheat the pan

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat until it feels evenly warm. A properly heated pan helps the semolina rounds set quickly instead of sticking.

Pan-fry the rounds

Divide the batter into 4 portions and spoon each one onto the hot pan, spreading it gently into a medium round. Cook the first side for 3 minutes until the edges look set and the underside is golden, then flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Work in batches if needed so each round has enough space to cook evenly.

Assemble and serve

Place half a slice of Cheese on the hot side of each cooked round, fold it in half like a sandwich, and press gently so the cheese softens inside. Serve immediately while the outside is still lightly crisp and the center is warm and soft.
