Recipe Notes

1. If you want you can add red chilli  powder in the filling instead of chilli flakes. 

2. Do not compromise in the cheese because the cheese gives really extra flavor. If you want you can add more cheese also.

3. Adding colored capsicum makes it more appealing when given to kids.

4. I used mozeralla cheese. You can use normal cheese also. 

5. You can add coriander leaves or herbs like oregano or basil for extra flavor. 

6. People with more health conscious, please avoid this recipe.
