Namma own creation. turned out good.

Thai style chapathi:

4 leftover chpathis torn into pieces. mix it with 1-2 tbsp curd or milk or coconut milk, 1 tbsp thai red curry paste, salt & pepper pwd. I used curd. let it soak for a max of 5 mins.

Heat oil. saute 1 onion cut into strips,1 green chilly slit. once transparent, add in 1 m. tomato chopped & saute for a min. needn't become pulpy. let it hold shape.

Now add in 1 tbsp red curry paste & mix well.

Add in the chapathis(pirichu vittu podanum. else it'll all stick together). mix gently for a min or 2 until the chapathis gets heated up. throw in some spring onion greens. mix & serve.

these chapathis will be soft for a long time as it's soaked in liq(curd/milk) for some time.
