Method
Mix baking powder and salt into the maida. Add the oil and mix using your fingers until the oil is spread evenly. The maida should become crumbly.
Add water gradually and knead into stiff dough. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for 30 minutes.
For the filling, heat oil in a pan and saute onion and garlic until translucent.
Add all the vegetables and saute for 3 minutes.
Add the tomato ketchup, pizza sauce, salt, pepper, chilli flakes and oregano. Mix well and remove from the heat. Allow it to cool completely.
Take a portion of the dough and roll it out thin. Trim the edges to get a square/rectangle.
Cut rectangle portions of equal size.
Once the filling is completely cooled, add cheese and mix.
Place some of the filling on the centre of the dough. Use a fork to seal the edges. Trim again with a knife, if needed.
Deep-fry on medium-low heat until golden brown and puffed.
Serve Hot with ketchup on the side
