Finely slice the veggies and mix well. Keep it aside.
Mash the leftover sabji finely using a masher. If using leftover potato sabji, warm it for a few seconds before filling. Warm stuffing improves the taste and texture.
Take a chapati and apply Schezwan sauce evenly over it. Spread a thin layer of Schezwan sauce so it adds flavor without making the chapati soggy.
Fill half of the chapati with the mashed sabji and top it with the mixed sliced veggies.
Fold the chapati in half and press gently.
Apply butter and fry it on a pan on low flame until golden and crispy on both sides. You can also airfry these tacos at 180° C for 7-8 min for healthier option.

You can use any leftover sabji for this recipe, but potato sabji works particularly well.
Leftover chapati should be soft. If it becomes dry, lightly warm it on the tawa before adding the filling so it folds easily without breaking.
Adjust the amount of Schezwan sauce based on your spice tolerance.
For a kid-friendly version, sprinkle a little grated cheese before folding the chapati.
Can I use fresh chapati instead of leftover chapati?
Yes, you can use fresh chapati, but leftover chapati gives a slightly crispier texture when fried.
What other vegetables can I use?
You can use any vegetables you like, such as bell peppers, spring onions, or even grated zucchini.
Can I make this ahead of time?
It's best to prepare and fry the Taco fresh, but you can mash the sabji and slice the veggies in advance.
Is there a substitute for Schezwan sauce?
You can use any spicy sauce or chutney as a substitute, but Schezwan sauce gives the best Indo-Chinese flavor.
Can I make this vegan?
Yes, simply skip the butter and use oil for frying to make it vegan.
