Chapatis or rotis are an inseparable part of an Indian thali and are abundantly available in every Indian household. Indeed, the absence of chapatis on our dinner table is something not acceptable to us. Though we love chapatis, it happens when we have leftover chapati in our kitchen and we do not know what to do as everyone loves to have fresh chapati, not the leftovers. This happens with everybody. But we Indians have a jugaad for all our problems. So, we have some of the quick and easy dishes that you can make with leftover chapatis. Believe it or not, you can make numerous dishes by using leftover chapatis. Have a look:

Quesadilla is a Mexican dish that consists of tortillas with cheese stuffing. This does not require many ingredients but you always add the ingredients and spices of your choice. This is the best way in which you can transform your leftover chapatti. Look no further and try this dish right now.
Chapatti chips
This may sound weird but is actually a very tasty dish. You can transform your boring leftover chapati. Just take chapati and cut it into small pieces. Then deep fry the chapattis in oil and serve with the dip or chutney of your choice. Try it yourself
