Kothu chappathi

Whenever we have left over chappathis, I store them in fridge in a air tight container to prepare this kothu chappathi. No side dish required to eat this and makes up a complete meal on its own.

Ingredients:-

Chappathi - 4, chopped into small strips
Mixed vegetables - 1 cup. Cauliflower, carrot and frozen peas is what I used and the quantity should me more than the quantity of chopped chappathi.
Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
Refined oil - 2tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1tsp
Chilli powder - 1tsp
Salt - to taste
Coriander leaves - chopped fine for garnishing

Preparation:-

Heat oil in a kadai and add mustard seeds once oil is hot. When mustard seeds start spluttering, add onion and fry until translucent. Now add the vegetables, except the frozen peas. Add turmeric powder and give it a good mix. Cover with a lid and let it cook on very small flame. Keep checking in between to avoid burning. Once the vegetables are semi cooked, add salt and continue to cook with lid closed. Once vegetables are cooked, add frozen peas along with chilli powder and saute for few seconds. Add the chopped chappathi and mix it thoroughly. Once the chappathi is uniformly heated up, transfer it to a bowl and garnish with coriander leaves.

You don't need anything to go with this, if at all, you can try with some tomato ketchup. This is best eaten hot.
