In day to day life, food wastage is sometimes inevitable and unavoidable. But with clever and simple hacks like my Cheese Pav Bhaji Roti Sandwich recipe, you can refresh the whole idea of eating leftovers. This can be a healthier and economic option to experiment with new dishes too.
I have done plenty of experiments with leftover foods like my Burger with Leftover Rice or the Chutney Chapati which is another leftover roti recipe of mine.
I do not like eating too much leftover food and always hold quick leftover recipes at a high value because it gives me the scope to use up the food too soon before it gets noticeably stale. Though the Cheese Pav Bhaji Roti Sandwich Recipe by Mints Recipe has been quite popular among my viewers, this is not exclusively my recipe, it was also created by one of my favorite chefs, Tarla Dalal. Though I do have a personal touch to add to this recipe.
