Instructions
    Prepare the Crepes:
  1. 1
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, water, salt, egg (if using), and baking powder until you get a smooth batter.
  2. 2
    Stir in the melted butter or oil. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes.
  3. 3
    Heat a non-stick pan or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  4. 4
    Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
  5. 5
    Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for about 30 seconds. Repeat until all crepes are made.
    6. Make the White Sauce:
  6. 6
    In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour, stirring continuously to form a roux.
  7. 7
    Gradually add milk while stirring to avoid lumps. Add oregano and salt to taste.
  8. 8
    Cook until the sauce thickens. Set aside.
    9. Prepare the Filling:
  9. 9
    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  10. 10
    Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
  11. 11
    Add chopped onions, green chili, and chopped garlic, sauté until onions are translucent.
  12. 12
    Add tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until tomatoes are soft.
  13. 13
    Stir in the grated paneer, garam masala, and corn. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  14. 14
    Add cream cheese and mix until well combined.
  15. 15
    Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and set the filling aside.
    16. Assemble the Crepes:
  16. 16
    Place the cooked crepe on a plate.
  17. 17
    Spoon the prepared filling onto one side of the crepe.
  18. 18
    Fold the crepe over the filling and serve hot.
