roti sandwich recipe | chapati sandwich | leftover roti panini with a detailed photo and video recipe. an interesting way of preparing a sandwich recipe with leftover roti or chapati bread. it is an ideal and tasty, kids friendly snack recipe which can be made in no time with basic ingredients available in any kitchen. it is typically made with leftover hard roti or chapati, but you can also use leftover naan and tandoori roti.
this recipe of the chapati sandwich is truly a leftover recipe. this is because the roti or chapati used for this recipe has to be slightly hard compared to fresh rotis. this is due to the fact that the stuffing used contains moist and when stuffed to fresh rotis it would turn soggy and mushy. most of the other leftover recipes can be made with freshly prepared hero ingredients, but this recipe truly demands leftover. moreover, the beauty of this recipe is its versatility. basically, you can make the same recipe with other leftover indian bread too. the ideal one is tandoori roti, garlic naan, and even kulcha. i have not tried with poori but may try with that too. it may not turn as crisp as roti, but worth a try to finish these deep-fried pooris.
anyway, before i wrap up the recipe post, i would like to add a few more tips, suggestions, and variations to chapati sandwich recipe. firstly, the main ingredient for this recipe is roti and the selection of roti for this recipe is key for its success. you should use small to medium-sized hard rotis for a crisp sandwich. secondly, adding veggies to the stuffing is completely open-ended and you can add and experiment as per your imagination. however, you need to limit the quantity and also ensure to have finely chopped veggies. lastly, these sandwiches are ideal in taste and texture when served immediately. hence i would avoid packing it for tiffin or lunch box.
