Re: Creation from Left over food !
Afshi , thanks for sharing the wonderful ideas ... you said you saute onions and add biryani masala and left over salan for biryani ... why add more onions ? what if we just heat the salan , add a bit of biryani masala and the usual biryani process?
Re: Creation from Left over food !
lol not sure..my mom says to do it this way. i guess it makes it more fresh? there are other things that i do as well, but i dont remember (i usually write everythign down in my cookbook)
sometimes i add a bit of plum sauce to make the masala a little khatta. it makes the biryani taste good!
Re: Creation from Left over food !
Again a brilliant tip , thanks so much Afshi ... yes adding a bit of khatta does help , I believe due to the khatta that you add, the left over food doesnt go off quickly ... and obviously it adds a kick to the food :@:
Re: Creation from Left over food !
this one has to do left over masala from Tandoori Chicken in the Oven:
I woudl cut up potatoe wedges and use the leftover marinate on the potatoe wedges and cook them with the chicken in the same pot, in the oven.
its yummy!

with bananas that are about to go bad, my MIL bakes banana bread/cake.
and with the berries, she makes muffins....yum!
Re: Creation from Left over food !
Love, love, love the ideas Afshi , keep them coming please .. and if possible please do share the recipes as well ... I particularly like the idea of banana bread and the muffins :@:
Re: Creation from Left over food !
im sure u can google the recipes for the bread and the muffins :) I'm so not a baker. The only thing I bake is Pillsbury.
If I have hotdogs, I woudl roll them up in the Croissant dough. Same thing with Nutella...so good!
Re: Creation from Left over food !
thanks Afshi for sharing the brilliant ideas ..
Re: Creation from Left over food !
Wow , those are some really good ideas Rosetta
Though i wanna ask , when you add more stuff to a left over salan .. and make more salan , wont it still go off coz of the first salan ingredients may not remain fresh for that long ...
well itna hoti hi nahi coz theres only me n hubby ,daughter likes to eat only roti or rice without salan exception being daal or beans......and 2-3 piece hotay hain chicken kay which u cant serve as salan n i dont want to throw it so i just add half cup of daal which makes enuff for both of us n my daughter is a big fan of daals so it gets eaten by the end of the day
Re: Creation from Left over food !
I eat leftover food happily without any creation too :)
Re: Creation from Left over food !
afshi those really are good ideas, i also use masala from tandoori chiken ( that is left in the pan after baking it) to make rice n they taste so yummy
