Stuffed Potato Cutlets | Notecook
Stuffed Potato Cutlets | Notecook
Ramadan has begun and apart from fasting and praying, one more aspect about Ramadan is the evening feast. The breaking of the fast at sunset is an event in most households. The preparations for the evening begin since morning. Different types of sweet and savory delicacies are prepared. Fresh fruits, dates and a cool drink (sherbet) are always a staples. Different types of cutlets, samosas, pakodas, chaats etc. both vegetarian and non-vegetarian make the spread even more enticing. New recipes are tried so that the evening spread does not become monotonous.
Here is one snack I prepared this time.

Dealing with Left-over Food
The Left-over Labyrinth
Last week we had quite a few dinner parties at our place. Naturally there was a lot of food and eventually a great deal of left-over the next day. Earlier I would simply re-heat and consume it as the next meal, but one does get bored of eating the same thing again. So these days I improvise, this way the food is not wasted and it is savored with delight as the look and taste get a makeover. I mash up the veggies from mixed vegetable korma, add a few boiled potatoes and pav-bhaji masala, saute it all and convert the korma into instant Pav Bhaji. And if the pav bhaji is freshly made and some of it remaining is turned into a lasagna, by layering it with cheese and lasagna sheets alternately and baked for 15-20 minutes. Palak paneer can be pureed,mixed with flour and made into a dough for delicious Palak Paratha's.
There are many more such tricks that can be put to use to reduce food wastage. I would have added more, but hubby dear thinks that my friends would have doubts about eating at our place the next time. The below link has a few more ideas,do go through them as well.
Dealing with Left-over Food
P.S : Left-over food is best used the next day itself and its new version consumed immediately.
