Preparation:
1.) Take a bowl, add yogurt, besan, all the powdered spices and mix it well. Now add paneer cubes and marinate it for 15 mins. (Besan is added to make the marinade thick and to coat it well on cubes).

2.) By the time, paneer cubes are marinated, chop bell pepper and onion into thin slices.

Method:
1.) Heat oil in a pan. Saute onion and bell pepper for few mins.

2.) Add Paneer cubes into the pan and let it cook for 10 mins with occasional stirring. Add little amount of salt, chaat masala powder, chilli powder for onion and bell pepper. (Remember we have already added spices in marinade of paneer so don't add too much.)

3.) Cook till dry and set aside.

4.) Divide the filling into four equal portions. Roast a tortilla or left over roti on a heated tawa. Spread the sauces, stuffing, sliced onion over it. Finally sprinkle some cheese( it is totally optional, my family like it this way).
