What to do with Leftover Rotis

Many times, we have some leftover roties, We dont want to throw it away , Just want to cook something from these rotis. I asked the same question on my facebook page. a lot of ideas came up from that. I am  rewriting  these ideas here along with some of my ideas .

Some of My Ideas
1. We can make upma with leftover rotis. I will post its recipe soon

2. We can break rotis into small pieces and mix it with kadi . Your delicious roti kadi will be ready.

3. another ideas is coming to my mind is preparing koftas out of it.

4. Another version of poha can be sweet poha.

5 if you have both roti and vegetable left ,you can prepare Roti Rolls from  it , by adding some tomatos , cabbage , onion  and sometime leftover vegetable to it.

My mom used to cut the rotis into quarters, deep fry them then sprinkle with a little salt and black pepper and used to serve us as snacks with tea.
