5 easy and quick recipes using leftover rotis
What's the story
One of the primary dishes in an Indian spread, rotis are rich in fiber and keep you full for a longer time. However, if you have some leftover chapatis at home, you can easily revamp them into a quick, filling breakfast or a wholesome snack. They are healthy and perfect for those busy days. Here are five easy and quick recipes using leftover rotis.
Healthy breakfast
Roti cheela
Mix rice flour, gram flour, salt, red chili powder, amchur powder, garam masala, chaat masala, coriander leaves, chopped green chili, and chopped ginger in a bowl. Add water and mix well to prepare a smooth batter. Spread the mixture on the roti and place it on an oil-greased pan. Cook for three-four minutes until crispy and golden brown. Serve hot with ketchup.
Innovative dish
Chapati poha
Give your regular poha an innovative and healthy twist by replacing flattened rice with leftover chapatis. Saute mustard seeds, curry leaves, turmeric, garam masala, amchur powder, and chopped onions in an oil-greased pan. Add chopped capsicum and carrot and mix well. Break the roti into small pieces, add them to the pan, and mix well. Garnish with coriander leaves, lemon juice and serve hot.
