When it comes to transforming leftovers into dishes, Indians take the top spot. Whether it's turning leftover chicken into flavorful biryani, repurposing chapati into a desi pizza, or crafting stuffed parathas with leftover sabzis, the creativity in Indian kitchens knows no bounds. Let us all agree that dishes created from leftovers often surpass the original ones in taste. A video making rounds on the internet showcases a traditional recipe that adds another gem to this culinary creation - introducing "chandan chakori," a Rajasthani sabzi made using leftover chapati. Yes, you read that correctly. In the video, a woman dressed in traditional attire prepares this dish within a picturesque village-like setting.
The video begins with the woman using a traditional hand grinder to meticulously grind garlic cloves. After that, on a pan set atop the traditional chulha, she pours some oil and adds the freshly ground garlic to initiate the tadka. Chopped onions, green chillies, and tomatoes join the aromatic mix. The spices, including turmeric and garam masala, are then incorporated. Once the ingredients are well-cooked, she introduces buttermilk to the tadka. In the next step, the woman uses a thread to neatly divide the rotis into four equal parts. Following this, she breaks the rotis into smaller pieces before adding them to the buttermilk sabzi. The final touch involves plating the dish, garnishing it with finely chopped coriander, and serving it with a spoon.
