There are days when we fret over how to use leftover food so that it does not go waste as it not only is a loss of money but also time and energy that we had spent in cooking it laboriously.
Although most of us would simply reheat our leftover edibles the next day and have it with other food items as a complete meal, the best way of utilizing leftover food items is to use it as an ingredient for cooking another meal.
As chapattis are mostly eaten in India and there are times when it becomes excess in number but it mostly goes waste because no one likes to eat cold chapattis and reheating them would only make its flavour worst to taste.
