Scrumptious Delights From Leftovers – An Event Announcement

The other day I had some leftover idlis from breakfast and thought I will give to my maid.She did not turn up for work that day and at night I still had them staring at me.So I changed it into idli upma.[Lil Angel prefers idli upma to idlis!!]Leftover rice from the night’s meal is a big ‘NO’ from my maid who says ‘old stuff’ doesn’t suit her health.Most of the times,I do avoid situations leading to a container full of leftovers staring back at me.But sometimes,this does happens and I am in a dilemma – to use or to waste.Wasting is sinful but there are no takers for the reheated stuffs.So I like to change it in form and present it as another dish.Lo and behold,it disappears within minutes!!!

Then I thought it will be a nice idea to collect ideas and recipes that use leftover food to prepare something tasty and masks the original dish .Turn your idli’s into masala / fried idli or use the last few ladles of batter to create a different dish.Let your chapathi’s transform into wraps / roll or something new.Create gravies from leftover rasam/sambar.Transform rice into a new and colorful dish…These are just a few ideas from my side.I know you guys are so creative that you will have loads of ideas….So dear buddies,I invite you to send in your ideas / recipes to create a dish using leftovers.
