Awesome Recipes from Leftover Foods
What do you do with leftover food at home? It goes to the fridge, obviously, but what after that? After waiting in the fridge for days on end as they turn stale, you throw them away because leftovers don’t taste good and also because who wants to eat “Baasi Khaana”? But, this perception is soon going to change because in this blog we are letting you know some creative recipes using leftover food items. So, no more throwing leftover food, and it’s time to make good leftover meals.
Let’s get started because the leftover food in your fridge is waiting to be made into a lip-smacking dish.
Creative Recipes with Leftover Food
Masala Idli
Made From: Leftover Idlis/Idli-Dosa Batter
We all have leftover idlis or idli-dosa batter left after a meal, which lands up in the fridge, but don’t push it at the back of the fridge shelf and instead take it out the next day to make masala idlis. These bite-sized delights will feel like you are having street food-all chatkaaredaar and tasty.
All you have to do is cut the idlis into four halves and pan-fry them with spices from Badshah Masala. Sautee chillies, onions and tomatoes, add Badshah Masala like Coriander Powder, Garam Masala, Chat Masala, and add the idlis to this base. Sprinkle Chilli flakes or Piri Piri Masala just before you switch off the stove, to add the kick of flavours in the otherwise bland idlis. Whether you are eating this for breakfast or an evening snack, it is sure to tantalise your taste buds in just no time.
Stuffed Grilled Sandwiches
Made From: Leftover Sabzi
Putting effort into leftover food may seem like a waste of time until you taste how tasty the result can be. But for starters, we recommend this easy-to-make grilled sandwich for the time of the day you crave something but don’t want to invest your time and energy in cooking.
Just go to your fridge, take out the cooked sabzi from the previous day and make a sandwich out of it. Yes, your favourite sabzi could be made into a sandwich by stuffing it between two bread slices and grilling it. That’s it! Magic happens in seconds and this magic will not take more than 2 minutes. These sandwiches will be filling as well as delicious.
Fried Rice
Made From: Leftover Rice
The best leftover meals are made when you have leftover rice in your fridge. Dinners with leftovers should be made a concept because this dish is going to become your favourite in no time.
Leftover rice can be easily transformed into fried rice because, for fried rice, we all know that leftover rice or rice cooked the previous day is the best.
All you have to do is to pan-fry it with the veggies of your choice. You can experiment with masalas, sauces, and seasonings to make it according to your taste. You can also add a lot of veggies to it, or paneer and cheese.
