Chapati noodles: a fun and creative twist to a classic dish

Hey there, foodies! We've been indulging in the delicious and versatile chapati since it's a staple of every Indian household. We all have rotis for dinner with our curry, veggies, and fried dishes. However, we often find ourselves with some leftover rotis, and we can't figure out what to do with them. While rotis can remain soft and tasty till the next day, most of us and especially kids, prefer freshly cooked rotis. Since we can't afford to waste food blatantly, we need a way to use leftover rotis and create something that is high in taste and flavor, like yummy chapati noodles.

What we usually do with the leftover rotis is turn them into leftover roti upma, roti ka churma, or sometimes cutlets. But why go down the old path when we can give our regular rotis a Chinese twist with roti noodles? It tastes good and is packed with fiery Chinese flavors. It's a healthy and tasty alternative to pasta or rice that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more. Combining roti's nutrition with the deliciousness of noodles, this dish is perfect for those looking for a quick, easy, and tasty meal. 

So, in this blog post, we'll reveal how to make roti noodles from scratch, and how we can add them to daily meals as a delicious and healthy treat that no one can resist. But before we dive into the recipe, let's have a quick trivia!

 

 

Get Healthy with Humble rotis

When it comes to comfort food, there are few dishes more beloved than roti. Roti is not only a delicious and versatile food but also an essential part of a healthy and nutritious meal. It's a type of flatbread typically made from whole wheat flour, water, and oil, and they are cooked on a griddle pan or tava. They are the epitome of versatility since we can pair them with various dishes, from traditional curries to modern fusion creations. Not only do chapati noodles make for a delicious and hearty meal, but they also offer serious health benefits.

 

They are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. So they can help us regulate digestion, reduce the risk of constipation, and provide a steady energy supply throughout the day. Once we incorporate them into other healthy dishes and recipes, the nutritional benefits go up further. For gluten intolerant or celiac disease, rotis can be made from gluten-free flours like ragi, jowar, or bajra, making them a safe and healthy food option. So, the next time you have leftover rotis, don't throw them away and repurpose them into something yummy and healthy, like roti noodles.
