I don’t like to waste food. If there are any leftovers I would happily reuse it as it is or would add some extra touches to it and completey make a new dish out of it. If there is Rasam leftover I usually pressure cook Moongdal or Toordal and add rasam to it along with onion, green chillies etc. Will serve that alongside Chapati or Poori. When there is any gravy (chole, paneer, tofu, mushroom) leftover, I serve it as breakfast the next day along with some bread toast. The list goes on 😉 😉
For this baby potato biryani I used Leftover KaaraChutney (Spicy red chutney) while preparing the base masala. You can replace the chutney with Tomato Puree (grind 3 tomatoes with few ginger garlic pieces) + extra chilli powder based on your preference
