Leftover Chapathi Spicy Crumble

This method is an easy and a clever way to finish all the leftover chapathis. A perfect snack for kids, which is very healthy and nutritious. To make it more healthy, we can add any vegetable like potatoes, carrot, cabbage and so on. But I was in a hurry in the mornings, I didn’t add any vegetable.

The thought of using a leftover chapathi in this delicious way came from my dear friend and colleague. When we have free time, we will be sharing what we bought and so my friend one day brought this which I tasted for the first time and fell in love with this. Quick demo of the recipe and the next day a lunch box snack was this wonderful dish. My dish was a little dry, for that you can sprinkle little water on the ground chapathi ( do not add too much of water, otherwise they will turn out mushy). Here is a lovely dish, hope you all will like it.

Ingredients:

1. Chapatis- 4-5 nos
2. Onions (chopped)- 2 nos

Method:

1. Grind the left over chapathis in a mixer coarsely.
