A partial vegan like me[yes…except for Diary products, I avoid all kinds of egg/meat based products. That means I exclude all the sinful indulgences of a normal "Indian Vegetarian" from my foods/meals]…now back to our topic of the blog…leftovers…In my kitchen/fridge you would normally find fried/boiled/steamed/sautéed vegetables, Gravies/sambhar/dals or batter or dough that qualify for leftovers.
Sometimes idlis, dosas, pooris or rotis and bread(in different avatars). I guess that covers the entire gamut of leftovers I have encountered so far. So here's a list of things that I have done during the make-overs. I am blogging them as recipes.
- Leftover cooked vegetables can be used as a filling for a Parata.
- Fried vegetables/normal poriyal/curry such as carrots, beans, string beans, etc can be added to left over dosa batter alongwith some onions, curry leaves, ginger, coriander and chillies to make yummy ootappams.
- If you don't like Ootappams, use the cooked vegetables, alone or mixed with finely chopped onions to make masala dosa.
- Cooked vegetables can be made into a salad by adding other desirable salad ingredients such as lettuce, nuts, onions, fruits, cheese or cold leftover rice and topped with a salad dressing of choice.
- If you have leftover chappathis and vegetables, you can make katti rolls/chappathy wraps using them. I have listed the katti rolls I have tried out so far:·
- Vegetables, finely chopped onions, salt, lemon juice, mint and dry mango powder·
- Vegetables, finely chopped onions, salt, Tomato ketchup·
- Vegetables, mixed with sweet onion sauce·
- Vegetables and leftover chutneys[coriander, onion, mango, etc]
Enjoy your experiments and I would be delighted to hear from you, your personal experiences and any recipes that you can let me know, so I can try them out in my Kitchen!
