Leftover Chapati Ladoo | Roti Churma Ladoo

Leftovers means the uneaten edible remains of a meal after the meal is over and everyone has finished eating. Most of us would admit that we throw out a lot of leftover food every week. Reusing leftovers and food scraps is safe and can be incredibly delicious which will definitely reduce the waste particularly the amount of money spent for that food. Many a times, the leftovers can be used as it is simply, or by reheating in stove or microwave, or to make a completely new dish along with some other ingredients.

If there is any leftover with me, then the next dish which I will prepare must be related to that, either the next dish is the whole leftover reheated or a completely another dish using those leftovers. I never prefer to store the leftovers more than 1 day 😊. Well, Today is Monday. And the Foodie Monday Blog Hop team has come up with their 142nd theme as ‘Left-over Dishes’. So keeping that in mind, I have prepared some healthy ladoos using some leftover roti or chapati as ‘Leftover Chapati Ladoo / Roti Churma Ladoo‘ for the theme contribution.

Roti or chapati or phulka is the staple food in each and every Indian household. Each day, this dish is a must in any meal of the day for an Indian. But many a times, there are some leftover rotis with us. Using those leftovers, a variety of dishes can be prepared or these can be simply reheated by applying some ghee or butter to have in next meal. Here in this post, using leftover roti or chapati or phulka some ladoos are prepared. I prefer first to roast the left over chapati to make crispier which will be then easier to make a coarse powder. But this step is optional. Then some sweetener like jaggery or sugar is added along with ghee, desiccated coconut and some chopped nuts and finally shaped into ball shapes, Ladoo. Though I have mentioned to use milk, but I never need milk, My ladoo takes shapes easily. 

These ladoos are much healthy, a perfect snack or tiffin box idea for kids and surely satisfy in between meal hunger pang of us as well. With simple ingredients, one can devour these more scrumptious dessert balls too in any time of the day. Also these can be stored in an air-tight container for 1-2 days. And one thing I can assure that, no one can guess from which actually these ladoos are made 😉. So do try these Leftover Chapati Ladoo / Roti Churma Ladoo and give your valuable feedback either in the comment box below or tag me as #firsttimercook on Instagram.

    I often make instant chapati laddos using jaggery powder and ghee. Your version looks great ..will try it next time

  2. Priya Iyer

    Wow, this is brilliant! The laddoos look awesome!

    When I saw the picture on your Facebook post, it immediately reminded me of my grandfather. On weekends when we would be at home, he would make laddoos for us from leftover rotis and parathas. He would make me and my siblings run to the kitchen to get ghee, jaggery, elachi and the ladoos would be ready in no time. He would just crush the rotis using his hands. Love your laddoos, haven't made them in a long time.

    Wow chapatti laddoos! That's incredible! I have never ever heard of them, let alone eaten. The best effort I do with leftover chapattis is make a poha sort of breakfast with it but that too not regularly. Atleast 1 roti usually gets thrown away. This is awesome!!

    This is a popular dish of Sindhi cuisine too.. we make fresh rotis for this and serve it also in the crumble form or make laddoos.

    Perfect for left over rotis, and the way you have added Jaggery makes it healthy too.

    What a fabulous way to use up leftover roti! The recipe sounds hassle free and utterly delicious. I bet no-one stops at just one ladoo!

  18. Padma

    Great way to use up leftover chapatis instead of eating them cold…I too prepare them, but I don't put them in the oven….I just leave them in a bowl with the lid slightly tilted and they dry out. To store them longer, oven method sounds great….Awesome share!!
