Roti Upma ~ Waghereli Rotli and an Award

The one thing I hate is wasting food or throwing food. In India maids comes to our rescue, as we can give them our leftovers, but here in UK or in any place abroad you dont have such privilege and where everything comes with an expiry date you have to be cautious. But this turns out to be blessing in disguise as you give trouble to your grey cells and come up with a new dish from leftovers. One such leftover miracle is Roti Upma or Waaghereli Rotli in Gujarati.
I have grown up seeing my granny, mom, aunt making this dish whenever there were leftover Rotis at our place. In Gujarati household you will not see anyone having morning stale food even at night, so using one day leftovers is out of question. Even simple snacks or breakfast has to be hot and freshly prepared. Since phulka roti is a staple diet in every Gujarati and Indian Household, I am sure this dish really comes to our rescue. Its easy to make with minimum ingredients.

Ingredients:
5 - 6 Leftover Rotis
1 Chopped Onions
2 Tablespoon Curd
1 Tablespoon of Green Chilli - Ginger Paste
1 Teaspoon of Mustard seeds
1 Teaspoon of Coriander and Cumin seed powder
1/2 Teaspoon of Turmeric powder
Pinch of Asafoedita
2 - 3 Curry leaves
Chopped Corianders
Salt to taste
11/2 Cups of Water
Oil

Method:
1. Tear leftover rotis in to small pieces.

2. Now take a bowl, add curd and water and make a butter milk consistency.
3. Add salt, Green Chilli-Ginger paste and pieces of rotis in it. Soak the rotis in this buttermilk mixture for 10 - 15 minutes. Rotis will soak the buttermilk mixture.

4. Heat the vessel with the oil, add pinch of asafoedita, mustard seeds and curry leaves. When Mustard seeds starts spluttering add chopped Onions and saute them till they are translucent.
5. Add coriander-cumin seed powder, turmeric powder and mix with the onions. Add the soaked roti mixture in the onion mixture and mix properly.
6. Cook for 5 minutes, or till the buttermilk is fully absorbed.
7. Your Roti Upma is ready, garnish it with chopped coriander and serve it hot.
