Leftover Chapatti turned into Noodles



Do you ever wonder what to do with the leftover chapattis (rotis)?   We all face this problem sometime or the other.  This recipe is for you if you dislike wasting any food.

Other day I made noodles from the leftover chapattis, sauteed some vegetables, added some spices and a very tasty and incredibly interesting dish was ready.





Fold leftover chapattis and wrap them in the aluminum foil and put them in the refrigerator overnight.  Next day take these out, take a sharp knife and cut the folded chapattis into very thin noodles. Take a deep pan or wok and roast these thin noodles for a couple of minutes.  Keep these aside in a bowl.  For other ingredients and method read here:




Ingredients:

3 leftover chapattis, 1 cup of washes and shredded cabbage, 1 cup green, yellow and red peppers cut into small pieces, ½ cup onion chopped julienne, ½ cup carrots cut into small pieces, ½ cup boiled peas, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp chives, 1 tsp  brown mustard seeds, 1 tbsp cooking oil, salt to taste.

(You may add vegetables like spring onions, broccoli, and beans etc)

Method:

Heat oil in a wok or deep pan, put mustard seeds.  When they stop spluttering add chives and onions.  Saute these for a couple of minutes and add cabbage, peppers, carrots, peas and any other vegetables you wish to. Toss the vegetables and add soy sauce.  Mix it well.  Now add coriander powder and salt.  At the end add your already roasted chapatti noodles to the vegetable mix.  Toss it again and serve hot.  If you want to add a hot punch to it, put some hot and spicy sauce.
