Like that 1 cup of dal that you have in your fridge sitting waiting for it to be finished and no one in the house is ready to eat the same food from last night. You can use up that dal in making delicious paratha’s. The result is not just a delicious paratha that you feed to your family members, but you prevent wasting food. Our elders have always thought us not to waste food, and they followed it in their days. But with busy life schedule and Fast Food Company growing up in fast pace, a lot of us is un knowingly contributing to wastage of food in large numbers. The next time you throw away last night’s dal, roti and rice in the bin, stop and think. A little creativity will turn those left over’s into something really delicious! Almost ALL the left over food can be used in a proper way.

    A lovely idea to use up that left over dal. Looks so easy and healthy. I would purposely cook more dal than needed, just because I could turn the left overs into this delicious paratha 🙂
