Prepare dough by mixing 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup maida with 14 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon oil.

Knead the dough with water until soft and cover for 30 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan and sauté 1 medium-sized sliced onion until soft, about 1-1.5 minutes.

Add 1 medium-sized chopped bell pepper and sauté for another 1-1.5 minutes.

Add 1/4 cup sweet corn (optional) and cook for 2-3 minutes on low-medium flame, then remove from heat.

In a bowl, mash 2 boiled potatoes and mix in 1 tablespoon chili flakes, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, chopped fresh coriander, 1/2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and juice of half a lemon.

Combine the sautéed vegetables with the mashed potato mixture.

Knead the dough again and cut it into equal-sized balls.

Roll out each ball into a flat sheet, similar to making chapati.

Cook each sheet on a flat tava (griddle) on medium heat until lightly cooked on both sides.

Assemble the tacos by spreading tomato ketchup or any preferred chutney on the flat sheet, adding the filling, and topping with grated cheese cubes.

Fold the taco and fry on a flat tava with 1 teaspoon oil until golden brown and cheese melts.
