In every Indian kitchen, leftovers are a daily reality. Roti from last night’s dinner, a cup of cooked rice, or a ladleful of dal waiting quietly in the fridge. While many see them as second-grade meals, I believe they’re hidden treasures. With just a touch of creativity and a sprinkle of love, leftover food can be transformed into delicious, nourishing, and time-saving dishes. It’s not just about reducing waste—it’s about honoring the food we’ve already prepared and giving it a second life on our plates.

Cooking with leftover is a smart choice as it reduces food wastage, saves time and efforts, nutritionally smart as some leftover like rice, roti and boiled potatoes develop resistant starch, which improves gut health, controls blood sugar and increase satiety.It is budget friendly and last but very important according to me as it encourages culinary creativity.
