In monsoon and otherwise too, Work from Home (WFH) has sort of become the new norm. And since we’ve brought work home, we often find ourselves juggling between deadlines and dinner prep. Today, we’re spotlighting the heroes of our WFH life: ingenious, quick-fix recipes born right in our kitchens. The lines between our workspace and living space have blurred, and the kitchen has become the unofficial breakout room. But do we really have the time for mid-day elaborate meals between back-to-back Teams calls?

This is where you can relax and let us take the lead. We know a thing or two about quick sheet-pan dinners and quick fixes.

It's all about finding the middle ground between instant noodles and a three-course meal. Let’s give the food delivery apps a break. We're talking about one-pan meals and leftover hacks, powered by pantry staples and some smart help from our one stop for all things protein-rich-snacking Godrej Yummiez.

Let’s dive in.

Roti quesadilla

Got some leftover rotis? We’ve got a fusion food idea.

Prep: 3–4 min · Cook: 6–8 min · Serves: 1–2

Ingredients

• 2 leftover rotis (cold or room temp)
• 4 Godrej Yummiez Cheese Corn Nuggets, cooked and sliced (or 6 if you’re really hungry)
• 2 tbsp mint chutney or schezwan sauce or tomato ketchup
• 1–2 tbsp grated cheese (cheddar/mozzarella)
• 2 tbsp chopped bell pepper, 1 tbsp chopped onion
• 1 tsp butter or oil for toasting

What you need to do

• Lay the roti flat. Spread your chosen sauce over one half, mint chutney, schezwan for a kick or ketchup, if you please.
• Line the sauced half with sliced cheesy nuggets, scatter bell pepper, onion and corn, then add grated cheese.
• Fold the other half of the roti over to make a semicircle. Press gently.
• Heat butter or oil on a skillet over medium heat. Toast the quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crackly and the cheese melts. Press down with a spatula once or twice to help it seal.
• Slice into wedges, serve hot.

Quick tips

• For extra crispness, drizzle a few drops of oil around the edge in the pan so the roti gets crunchy.
• Add a sprinkle of chaat masala or chilli flakes inside.
• Make it a meal: pair with a quick salad or yogurt dip.

Paneer pop wraps

Restaurant vibes in five minutes. Paneer Pops are crunchy, and stunningly easy to ‘wrap and roll.’

Prep: 5 min · Cook: 6–8 min · Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1 large tortilla or roti (warmed)
• 2 tbsp mint mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup shredded lettuce, 2–3 thin tomato slices, 2 tbsp sliced onions
• Pinch chaat masala, lemon wedge

What you need to do

• Air-fry or pan-fry the Paneer Pops until they’re golden and crackling.
• Warm your tortilla/roti. Spread mint mayo down the center.
• Layer lettuce, tomato, onion, then line up 4–5 hot Paneer Pops. Dust with chaat masala and a squeeze of lemon.
• Fold and roll tightly. For extra hold, toast the seam side down on a pan for 30–60 seconds. Slice in half and serve.

Quick tips

• Swap mint mayo for schezwan mayo for a spicy-sweet version.
• Add pickled onions or jalapeños for a punch.
• Make it portable: wrap in a foil for a neat eat-on-the-go.
