Instructions:
-
Make the crepe batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, sooji, salt, and curd. Gradually add water as you mix until the batter is thinner than pancake batter. -
Cook the crepes:
Heat a flat griddle over medium-high flame. Lightly grease the griddle and pour a ladle of batter onto it. Allow it to spread naturally into a circular shape. Drizzle a little oil around the edges. Once bubbles appear on the top, flip the crepe and cook on the other side. Remove from the griddle and set aside. Repeat until all the batter is used. -
Prepare the lasagne layers:
Layer a small saucepan with a pinch of salt to prevent burning. Place a steel plate or mesh on top. To assemble, place a crepe in a cake tin that fits comfortably inside the saucepan.
On top of the crepe, layer the following:- A mixture of chopped bell peppers and shredded chicken
- A sprinkle of black pepper, dried oregano, and red chilli flakes
- Grated cheese and a spoonful of homemade pizza and pasta sauce
Then, cover with another crepe. Continue layering in the same order until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of cheese and red chilli flakes.

Cook the lasagne:
Cover the pan and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and everything is heated through. -
Serve:
Once ready, serve the Chicken Crepe Lasagne hot. It pairs wonderfully with a side of Roasted Tomato and Pumpkin Soup for a cozy dinner or with a Fresh Fruit Bowl and Cold Coffee Smoothie for a delightful Sunday brunch.
