Kothu Chapathi

If you are left with few chapathis from previous day's dinner but dont have any side dish you can try this.To me left-over recipes like this one are something to look forward to. So sometimes I purposely make extra chapathis to make this one the next day. 

Once my friend and her parents came to visit us and stayed with us for a day. I made Chapathi, Paneer butter masala and Peas pulao for dinner. We had some chapathis left over from dinner. The next morning aunt asked me what I was making for breakfast. And she gave this recipe and asked me to try this on seeing the leftover chapathis.

What you will need:

• Fresh/left-over chapathis- 3

• Onion- 1 big

• Tomato- 1 big

• Green chillies- 1

• Sambar powder- 1/2 tsp

• Pav bhaji masala powder-1/2 tsp

• Curry leaves- 1 sprig

• Coriander leaves- 2 tbsp chopped

• Mustard seeds-1/2 tsp

• Salt - as needed

• Oil - 1 tsp

• Water-2 tbsp

Method:

1. Tear the chapathis into small pieces.Chop the onion,tomato,curry leaves and slit green chillies. 

1.  
   
   

2.  Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, let it splutter.Add onion, green chillies, curry leaves.When onions turn pink in colour, add tomato.

 

3. Add sambar powder,pav bhaji masala powder and salt.Mix well. Let it cook till tomato turns mushy.Sprinkle handful of water so that the masala can be easily absorbed by chapathis. Mix well and close with lid for a minute.

 

4. Add chapathis.Mix well. Finally add coriander leaves. Mix well and switch off.Serve this along with onion raita.

 

P.S:

• I always make this along with Spicy Oats Lassi which is again very easy recipe for a complete meal. You can try this combo .

• This is a simple version of kothu chapathi. You can add scrambled eggs finally to make Egg kothu chapathi.

• You can add chopped carrots and green peas.

• If you have left over Vegetable kurma you can add it too after adding tomatoes .

• If you dont have Pav bhaji masala powder, you can replace it with chicken masala , biriyani masala or meat masala  .
