Meals from Leftovers 1. Phodnichi Poli (Masala Chappati)
Along with good cooking I think it is very important for a good cook to know how to use up leftover food. Not just use it but also present it in such a way that all family members really enjoy it. This is a new series I am starting in which I'll share recipes in which the main ingredient is something leftover. I am sure you guys will appreciate them and try them too.
Phodnichi Poli is basically Chappati crumbled and spiced with a tempering of Oil mustard seeds, asafoetida etc. So here goes:
Ingredients:
4 leftover chappatis (crumbled)
1 small onion chopped finely
1 tblspn peanuts
1 tblspn green peas
1 tspn sugar
salt to taste
For the tempering:
2 tblspns oil
1 tspn mustard seeds
1/2 tspn cumin seeds
1/4 tspn asafoetida
4 to 5 curry leaves
2 green chillies chopped or 1 tspn red chilli powder
1/4 tspn turmeric powder
Coriander for garnishing.
Procedure;
1. Heat the oil
2. Add the mustard seeds. When they sputter add the asafoetida, cumin seeds, and curry leaves
3. Next add the chopped onions peas and peanuts. Saute the onions for a few minutes. Add the turmeric powder, chillies (or chilli powder)
4. Add the crumbled chappatis ,salt and sugarand toss and turn the mixture well.
5. Garnish with coriander and serve with fresh curds.
I am pretty sure the veggie around is Keera ( green cucumber) .
