Baasi Roti ki Chaat

Published on September 16, 2015 by

  
I always believe that good food doesn’t need complicated recipes. This one sits perfectly on that scale.  

 
Baasi roti is stale chapati, a flat bread that is 1-2 days old. My Daadi (grandmother) loved eating baasi roti soaked in thin yogurt, sprinkled with red chili powder, roasted cumin powder and salt. Today, I have taken this a notch higher by making a chaat out of it. 

 
This was my lunch today. It was delicious and absolutely lip smacking.

  
Lot of times, we end up with extra chapatis or rotis which nobody wants to eat. This recipe will bring a relief to many out there. The best way to use the stale bread. I promise this will not disappoint you and beat that all of a sudden Dahi Wada Craving!

This is how I made it!
