Vaghareli Rotli, or What To Do With Leftover Roti

Ingredients

  • 1 cup torn roti (about 3-4 rotis)
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp besan (garbanzo bean flour)
  • 1 1/2 cup water (up to 2 1/2 cups)

  • 10 curry leaves
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/4 tsp hing

  • 1 green chili (sliced (serrano or jalapeno))
  • Garnish with cilantro

Instructions

  1. Tear up the rotli into roughly 1-2 inch pieces
  2. In a bowl, whisk together yogurt and besan. Remove any lumps. Add water a little at a time and whisk to get a buttermilk consistency.
  3. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and toast. Then add hing, garlic, and curry leaves. Add turmeric, chili powder and green chilies.
  4. Add the rotli. Stir.
  5. Add yogurt mix and salt. Allow it to boil. Add water to adjust to a gravy-like consistency. Add more if you prefer a soupy consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with cilantro.
