I had chapati noodles for the first time in one of my cousin’s place. Then saw this recipe in Vijay Tv’s Suvai Ula. I had some leftover chapathis today morning and wanted to try this and have it for lunch. I just made it the usual way I make fried rice / this one . This is sure a kid’s menu and you can give this to your kid when he come back hungry from school.

I have been checking your methods for the last few months…….. and certainly u have turned me into a reasonable cook from a very dull cook. Truly hats off to you.
Do keep up this excellent work on this beautiful art. I will keep visiting you at least two times a day, and for that reason i see that am never out of net connectivity.
Cheers

August 31, 2012 at 2:38 pmHi… thanks…
i am looking for a 'Main Course – Veg' in order to participate in a food contest to be judged by chefs from reputed hotels.
I am considering this recipe for that. Please suggest if something else comes to any of your mind, that is presentable, creative, tasty and rich.

July 25, 2015 at 12:28 pmThis looks tempting. One question- Will not the chapathi pieces get hard with time? Can u use parathas, phulkas or anyvariations?
