A delicious snack made from leftover Rotli's (as Gujarati's call it). Most of us, typically end up having some roti's that are carried forward to the next day. Just like South Indians make use of left over rice to make a variety of rice dishes, the Gujarati's have mastered the art of using left over rotis in various forms. This is one such form where the left over roti's/phulka's that are seasoned with mustard seeds, chilli, asafoetida, etc and roasted until crisp. They are simply delicious and make a great snack.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of chopped old roti's/phulka's (about 10 roti's)
• 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon red chilli powder
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 5-6 curry leaves
• A pinch of asafoetida
• 2 tablespoons of oil
• Salt to taste

Method

Heat oil in a pan; add mustard seeds and allow it to crackle. Add curry leaves, cumin seeds. Add all the other remaining ingredients and toss them well in the pan. Keep the heat on medium and roast the roti mixture until crisp or the desired texture. The more often you make it you will discover the texture which most suits you. The most favorite will likely be a crispy texture. Serve it hot immediately with some hot masala chai.

Note: This dish has to be consumed immediately. As when kept for longer time, it tends to get brittle and rubbery.
