Hello friends! My today's dish is again very simple and easy to make and we make good use of left over rice. Earlier I had made left over rice chilla. Click on the name to see the recipe. This time I am making paratha or roti using left over pulao.
Pulao has lots of vegetables as per our choice and here I had bit of boondi raita also left and so I got thinking what to do with it and hence this idea came. Kids and adults all liked this in my home.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1/2 cup left over pulao
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 1tsp dry mango powder
- 1tbsp coriander powder
- salt to taste
- 1tbsp ghee+ more for cooking
- 1tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- water as required.
Method:
Mix all things mentioned above and add water gradually to make tight dough. Be careful with salt and spices as pulao already has enough of them. I had some boondi raita left so i had added that too in the dough.
Heat tawa. Make medium size balls of the dough and roll the chapathi thick. Cook on tawa as we normally do with chapatis on both sides. Drizzle required ghee or oil for uniform cooking.
Remove and serve it hot with curd, tomato sauce or chutneys.
Hope you enjoy this quick dish.

Method:
I made potato sabzi here with given ingredients but the filling is entirely to personal preferences. I have kept spice level mild here for kids. Use 1bsp oil and saute the onions till translucent. Add green chillies and stir fry for a minute. Add diced potatoes, grated carrot and all dry masalas except tomato ketchup. Mix well and keep aside to cool.
Make chapatis as required. Take one chapati add little filling top it with tomato sauce and roll it. Make all chapati same way.

Hello friends! My today's dish is impromptu dish and you can say a sort of just clicked to make this. Usually, we have watermelon as fruit only in my home but I never did try to get innovative with use of watermelon. Seeing people make halwa and so many things I thought, its time I should try to do something else with it. Thats when this idea hit me. It was a big hit in my home and my neice totally loved it calling it as ice ka gola.
Watermelon has huge water content and is very good to have in summer and though now monsoon is about to start but nothing stops us from enjoying this lovely fruit. So here we go and its very easy with no cooking needed. Just assemble and you are ready.
Ingredients:
- Half a watermelon
- sugar to taste
- some icecream sticks
Method:
Peel and de seed the watermelon pieces. Blend the piece to make watermelon juice. As the watermelon was already sweet I did not add any sugar but if needed adjust it. The juice can be served chilled. Take Popsicle mould or kulfi mould. Pour the juice in it and put in freezer to set for one hour. My mould was stick less so I removed them after one hour and added sticks and let it freeze for close to 10 hrs. Remove from mould and serve chilled.
Enjoy the iced watermelon gola as my neice calls this one. Gola is very famous street side popsicle in Mumbai and its crushed ice flavoured with various syrups. I think this one was more healthy here what I made.

Ingredients according to the need:
- bread slices
- butter

- grated cheese
- salt to taste

Bake or grill in oven till cheese melts but be careful not to burn the bread.
