While I don’t recommend that you reheat and eat, I suggest that you turn it around if it is still in good condition, for a better, quick-fix meal. For example: While family members tend to wrinkle their noses when offered leftover chapatis, a mouthwatering dish made from these chapathis will surely have kids happily snacking.
Naram-Garam Chapatis

Method: Break the chapatis into small (1 inch) pieces with your hand and keep aside. In a thick bottomed pan, heat the oil and add the mustard seeds.

Add the chapathi bits and mix well. Add the water and coriander leaves and cook on a low flame till dry. Serve hot and garnish it with some coriander leaves and sev.
