Chapati Upma, a delicious savory upma made with leftover Roti. Roti is shredded into thin strips which is then concocted with onion-tomato-mixed veggies curry to make this delicious Chapati Upma. Loaded with veggies, this upma is a perfect balanced food for Kid’s lunch box. Whenever I have leftover Roti, I like to make either simple upma or noodles with the roti. For noodles we need soy sauce, red chili sauce and vinegar but for upma its very simple and quick to make If you kid don’t eat veggies, we can just make with onion-tomato and exclude the veggies.
Tips for making Chapati Upma
Roll the chapati tightly and then slice the roti. We can also just tear the roti roughly.
Cook the veggies till they are tender but also little crispy.
Adjust the spices and masala powders according to your spice level.
Add handful of water after adding shredded roti so that roti gets nicely blended with veggies.
Roti will have salt already in it so be mindful to add salt that is necessary for the veggies.
