One thing that’s saved me on busy mornings: make a “stuffed roti toast” — really quick and low-oil. Spread a thin layer of green chutney or hummus on one roti, put a spoonful of crushed leftover sabzi (pat dry if watery) or grated carrot+spinach, sprinkle a little grated low-fat cheese or crumbled paneer if you like, top with another roti, press gently and heat on a nonstick tawa with the lid on for 1–2 minutes per side (no need to add more than a brush of oil on the tawa). Cuts, packs and eats well cold or warm, and you can prep the filling the night before.

Try a quick “Roti Upma”: tear leftover rotis into strips. In 1 tsp oil temper mustard seeds, curry leaves and chopped onion; add diced carrot/peas/tomato, a pinch turmeric and salt, sauté 2–3 min. Stir in roti pieces, sprinkle 2–3 tbsp water, cover 1–2 min till warm. Finish with lemon and coriander; add crumbled paneer or roasted peanuts for protein. Low‑oil, veg‑rich, packs/reheats well. Refrigerate within 2 hours and use within 48 hrs (or freeze).
