What do you do with leftovers?

Gosht/chicken salan:
I add some onions and tomatoes and biryani masala and convert to biryani or pulao.

Qeema:
Add spaghetti sauce and pour over pasta.

Sabzis:
Sandwich fillings, fillings for puff pastries or parathas :smiley:

Rotis:
Give 'em to the birdies or eat them up if less than 2 days old.

White rice:
Make chinese fried rice.

I made one day for leftovers, i.e. on monday I cook chicken, on tuesday daal, on wednesday veges so on thursday I use all left overs from last three days with kabab or some side dish and what I cook on friday, saturday and sunday, it is use as a side dish on monday dinner.

My Kutta likes em..ofcourse after the masala is washed off..he is such a desi Kuta

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

If we see that too much has been cooked for the day, we usually just give it to my sister's in-laws or the neighbors. My BIL does not believe in eating leftovers so we hardly ever have that.

I personally like 2 day old biryani better than when its freshly made... its crazy but somehow it tastes so much more flavorful and yum!

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

riya cuz the spices have all settled in and seeped through the rice..yeah.. i agree

some of the thai, burmese food are the same way where they taste better a day later

Aap nain usko kutta bola. Asking ban for you. lol

You are so like me.

From chawal left over I make kheer or Firni.

Frome chawal I make pulao.

Mix all salan add bhoonafy it.

Gosht bhoonafy it.

From sabzi and/or gost sandwich

Roti, chawal, bread and some other thinks give to Pigeons in my gallery to make my Gallery gunda (crying).

I also give my pigeons kachchay chawal, Chwra.

Chicken Roast
I make soup with it's leftovers.

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

From plain boiled rice - fry it in a pan with spices/beans/dal/onions/egg
From daal - make daal ki roti/paratha, by kneading wet daal into the dough, or stuffing a paratha from dry daal
If it's a lot of veg I whizz it up in blender, add stock or cream to make a soup

leftovers have always been a problem for me ...with leftover rice yeah i do make chinese fried rice...but what to do with the salans..i hate putting them in smaller burtun and then have to dump all of them in the fridge...bcz i myself don't prefer eating basi food..i rather wud love to cook something really fresh chahay sirf saadi daal he kio na ho ..fresh to hoti hai..left over sallun mai mall ki parking mai kaam krnay wallay admiyon ko day daite hon...wo indian/bengali shok say lay laitay hain...!

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

OOO I just did this one yesterday. I made a desi style bean salad just canned pintos black and kidney beans with chaat masala onion tomato and cilantro. Then the next day when the veges were not so crisp I fried it up with some galic in olive oil. It was delsih!

Another great idea is taking Daal and taking any sort of meat kebab or mean salan (bone-less) and just simmer together it makes almost a haleem type soup.

Another idea is left over vege salan, added to daal and blended with a standing blender in a pan makes for a delish vege soup!

Left over rice and queema can also be rolled into a tortilla to make a burrito with some fresh salsa and queso (cheese) Or fry up left over meat pieces with some bell peppers and onions for a fajita!

I love transforming leftovers! This is a fun topic!

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

We enjoy no rakha dinner or lunch every now and then where we take out all the left overs of the week and try to finish them, :bummer:

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

Sometimes I have freeze leftovers.

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

if your food is tasty enough, there wont be this problem to begin with.

:p

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

^ queer - we only have one stomach and a man can only eat so much.

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

thats the other thing. if the man really loves you, he will eat all you cook him.

aaj kal ki larkiyaan.. :nono:

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

I don't know how to cook in lesser quantity so I usually have leftovers. I hate throwing away food that is good and tastes fine so I end up using it somehow.

Biryani, Quorma, Haleem, Nihaari .. these 4 dishes taste better the next day as compared to freshly cooked

Re: What do you do with leftovers?

Yes, they do, indeed.
