This is what my mom usually makes when there are leftover chapatis from the previous night. Just a yummy breakfast dish from the leftovers!!FodNichi PoLi
Tempered chapatis stir fry
Ingredients
5 leftover chapatis, torn and twirled in a blender for a few seconds
salt to taste
1 tsp sugar (or per taste)
Tempering
1 tbsp oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 green chili, chopped
1/4 cup raw, unsalted peanuts
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 sprig curry leaves, torn
Garnish
1 tbsp fresh coconut
1 tbsp cilantro/coriander leaves, chopped
1/4 the of lemon
Method
1. Tear the chapatis by hand. Add them to the grinder and grind just for a second to get crushed chapatis. 5 chapatis result in about 1 1/2 cups crushed chapatis for me.
2. Heat oil in a wok or kadai. Add all the ingredients for tempering. Saute for 7-10 minutes till onion & peanuts are soft.
3. Now add crushed chapatis, salt & sugar. Sprinkle a few drops of water. Saute for another 5 minutes.
4. Garnish with coconut and cilantro.
5. Squeeze some lemon juice while serving.
Note -
1. This should be soft but it should neither be crunchy nor mushy. So sprinkle water after adding chapatis but do not add too much water.
