Leftover Chapatti or Bread Poha.. road trip to Panchkula (Chandigarh)

leftover Chapatti or bread poha

Chandigarh always took me back to a time, quite many years ago, when my father has to go there very often for some case.   Once for some reasons he has to extend his stay over there, so we too reached there in a car send by him to spend our weekend with him. At that time I was enchanted by the greenery and cleanliness of Chandigarh. After that many times we tag along with him and always loved the city.

This times too when a family friend invited us to accompany them, we didn’t let this opportunity go.  Finally, three families went together in their own cars. We all had blast together specially kids. Luckily this time I have many photographs to share.

In hotel, kids enjoyed swimming the most.

At first scared, but later enjoyed so much that he forgot to stop at Kasaulli, so we all have to change our programme and instead of going back, it was decided that we will stop at Chael instead..

How can I post something without any recipe? I am sharing one of my favourite breakfast. Very often, I was left with many chapattis and nobody in our house touches them, the very next day. One fine day I saw this recipe on Masterchef Sanjeev Kapoor’s show Cooksmart and I intentionally made extra chapattis that day, so that I can try this recipe. We all loved it, after that I tried with leftover bread and later with some bread and some chapatti and everytime it tasted divine.
