Curried Chapathi for Breakfast


I had a couple of left over chapathis from last night's dinner. I did not feel like throwing them away. I found a breakfast recipe posted by a friend Srividya in one of the discussion forums on orkut. So I decided to prepare it for my breakfast today. I loved the recipe a lot, delicious when served hot...Thanks for the idea Srividya..



A very simple n quickie recipe...

Ingredients:
Leftover Chapathis - 2 (tear into 2 inch size pieces)
Onion - 1 chopped
Green chillies - 2 chopped
Tomato - 1 cut into chunks
Grated coconut - 2 tsp
Cumin - 1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp - adjust
Garam Masala - 1/4th tsp
Oil - 4tsp

Procedure:

1. Heat oil in a pan.
2. Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds.
3. Then add the onions and green chillies. Saute for 3-4min
4. Add the tomatoes, salt and garam masala powder and 1 cup of water. Mix well
5. When the water starts to boil add the grated coconut and chapathi pieces. Mix well and cook for 2-3 min.

Serve Hot. Doesn't taste good when cold.

Hi Yes like rajitha mentioned nice idea. Hope you dont mind if i make a suggestion on your blog. Your
Font too small to read. Plus the background colour and font colour blending together, makes not so readble.

WOW......this is very nice use of Roti or Chapati......I love this dish we also made this dish but we use buttermilk in place of grated coconut. I like this plate as quick food.

Nice. The only problem we have is that there is never any leftover chapatti - they are finished by dinner itself!

i tried this out and it came out great . added some lemon juice and garnished with coriander and red onions .

terrific but the bottom line is that this has to be served hot !
