Leftovers for lunch,

moong dahl with egg fried chapati with red onion, chilli, coriander.

Chapatis much nicer like this, and much less fattening (fingers crossed.....)

Nice one ;)
Amazing what you can do with leftovers sometimes.
I've often knocked up a tasty curry, out of odds and ends left lurking in the fridge.

cheers Chewy

Use standard chapatis.

Put egg in bowl (after breaking the shell of course  ;) ), give it a whisk, add some finely chopped red onion, chopped coriander, chopped chilli. mix it up well.

Dunk your chapati in the mixture so that it is covered (I had to spoon some of the chilli/onion/corinader on to make sure it got a reasonable quantity - doesnt stay on too well).

Get a good size frying pan, add a good tsp of butter ghee (or veg oil), let it heat up. Now get your chapati face up with all the goodies on, and flip it into the frying pan. Let it cook for a minute or so. Have a sneaky look underneath to see if its browning nicely. Spoon some of the eggy stuff with the onion/chilli/coriander onto the top side (uncooked) of the chapati. When bottom side is done, flip it over to cook the other side.

Sounds great, but how on earth do you reconcile that recipe with your earlier "much less fattening" ?!

I'm for giving that a go sometime. When I make French toast I like to let the bread sit in the egg mix for a few minutes to soak it in.

Would that work with chapatti or is it too non-porous?

Opinions please

I'm sure it'd work garp. I'd be tempted to mix a very small amount of mix powder in with the egg mix too.

I definitely think its worth a punt. I really enjoyed the omelettes I made a while ago adding mix powder and chillis etc and meggeths lunch does look very tasty.

Meggeth, you have a lot to answer for.

I pride myself on my parathas but Mrs G informs me that egg-fried chapattis are now the bread of choice in the Garp household.

Not BIR, I realise, but very very tasty :)
