Got too many leftover rotis but lack recipe ideas? We got you.

Leftover roti is a common thing in Indian households. No matter how experienced you are with the measurements, failing at this point is fixed.

My mom was generally out of ideas, so she fed leftovers to the stray dogs. Not until she found the internet and then all these new emerging recipes. Internet was always a cool thing.

I will be discussing 3 of those recipes for leftover rotis, which is a fusion of desi and international cuisine, because, of course, we foodies love the variety of dishes served on our plates.

Leftover Roti Sandwich

Sandwiches are loved by people from every age group. How about we switch the main ingredient? Replacing bread with roti sounds like a good idea to me because it is healthier.

1. 2 leftover rotis

2. 3 tablespoons tomato sauce

10. 2 tablespoon sweet corn

11. Butter

12. ½ teaspoon Red chili flakes

13. ½ teaspoon Dried oregano

Instructions

1. Firstly, place your roti on a plate.

2. Spread tomato sauce on it, evenly.

3. Then, spread the mayonnaise.

4. Layer the vegetables (sliced red onions, chopped tomatoes, lettuce leaves, capsicum, and sweet corn) on half of the roti. (We are going to fold it into half, that is why you are advised to layer veggies on half of the roti.)

5. Now, layer the paneer cubes, and on top of it spread the grated cheese.

6. Fold the roti in half.

Two ways you can cook your sandwich

1. On the pan

• Heat a pan on the stove over medium heat and melt the butter on it.

• Place the folded roti on it when heated properly.

• Cook it as well. Make sure the cheese is melted wholely.

• Finally, transfer on a plate and serve hot.

2. In the microwave

• When you are done with the preparations for your roti sandwich, place it in a microwave-safe dish.

• Heat it for a minute or two, or until the cheese melts.

• Take the sandwich out and sprinkle the red chili flakes and dried oregano.

For the sides

Did you notice how your already healthy roti became healthier within minutes with all these ingredients? All these veggies, fruits, nuts, and dairy products infuse so much nutrition into your body if consumed daily.

One must include these in their daily diet, if not individually, then by combining them with some other food. Just like we did in our 3 recipes for leftover rotis.

Roti has a high dietary fiber which keeps your stomach full. If you ever run out of time while rushing to work, grab a roti, stuff all the ingredients, microwave, and run, run, run. Healthy breakfast prepared in minutes.
