I first saw this recipe on TV, it’s not really my own idea. However, I did add some of my personal touch to make my own version. I will always remember the day when I first made it. My children could not even guess that was not flat noodles bought from the market. However, there is no fooling my husband with this; he readily guessed what has been done.
Noodles are indeed made with wheat or flour. However, as with conventional noodles, you have to boil it before adding other ingredients, in this recipe, it is the opposite. You are supposed to add the roti last of all. While preparing it, keep in mind that if your vegetables release any water then wait for the moisture to dry out, before you put the shredded chapatis. Otherwise, your chapati flat noodles will become soggy.
This dish is best enjoyed as a spicy and tangy snack, or light meal. If you make it too simple and light with leftover roti, then it might taste stale. I personally do not like noodles with soya sauce, I like pan-fried noodles with light drizzle of olive oil. If you like, you can of course, add your favorite sauces and seasoning to it. But like I said before, you want it to be dry, with crunchy vegetables, too much moisture from liquid sauces can make the roti soggy.

This is a healthy at the same time fun food, which gets my full favor, as it is equally tasty and healthy. I will rather serve this to be eaten instantly, than pack in lunch. It is not that I use leftover rotis all the time; I make it with freshly made chapatis too.
I am happy to make this recipe and feel so complete when my children jump in joy when I served it. This is one of those urban unique recipes that our children will credit us for, down the lane, as self-sustained adults.
Lastly, I would like thank the TV show from where I got the idea. It’s a total hit.
