The concept of leftovers is a common everyday affair. While each one of us might measure and make food according to the number of eaters for a particular meal, miscalculation is bound to happen sometimes. Out of all the things that are leftover in the fridge, rotis are quite common. Roti or chapatti, for the uninitiated, is a round Indian flatbread that is usually made with whole wheat dough. If the rotis are made in advance and someone at the dinner table didn’t eat their share, these rotis would be wrapped in a kitchen towel and found in a corner of the refrigerator next morning.
Rotis are common accompaniments during meals, paired with dry subzis and gravies from the Indian fare. The dough is kneaded by adding water to wheat flour. This is then rolled into a round shape with the help of a rolling pin. Toss it on an iron griddle and cook it from both sides. Since the leftover rotis turn cold and hard, it is difficult to eat them right away. They need to be heated in a microwave or on a tawa with some oil, so that it softens as well as gets slightly crispy on the edges. However, there is a spicy and sweet snack too that you can make with these rotis. Home chef @tadka_mar_ke shares a quick and easy recipe of turning leftover rotis into a crispy bite.
