Roti lasagna, Cheesy, soft and delicious! made from scratch, leftover chapathi used as base instead of lasagna sheets. Goodness of vegetables, spinach and cheese.
Rotimatic is a savior for me these days, be it for dinner or lunch. Though I cook rice everyday for lunch to serve my family, at times, I never feel like having it, either because it's not hot or not my favorite dishes.
Those days, I just make hot rotis and pair it simply with dal and a dry vegetable I prepared for lunch. I am really loving it.
This Roti lasagna is one such recipe you must try once. The filling can be of your choice like spinach alone, mushroom, corn etc. I have given a simple basic recipe with roti as base in place of lasagna sheets.
This doesn't need more sauce, yet turns out soft and delicious. It also takes less time. Aj loved it a lot, that he asked me to make this often. He also loves the fact, the baking time is less comparatively to the regular Lasagna.

Notes
- I chose a springform pan and it was easy for me to demold.
- You can select your own pan. In that case just cut into portions and take out.
- cover the pan with aluminium foil if you like the cheese not browned.
- You can make your own filling and adapt the same recipe.
- Skip birds eye chilli and add red chilli flakes or black pepper along with oregano.
- Use fresh italian sweet basil in place of dried oregano. one tablespoon finely chopped will be apt.

Cream cheese is prepared by curdling milk+cream mixture with lemon juice or vinegar and draining the whey, mixed well to cream texture. Hope this helps 🙂
