Sometimes I just get tired of cooking or doing the dishes and would rather do something else. But when I think about it, these mundane activities are wayyy better than dealing with kids’ mood swings! Most often than not, it’s on seeing staple fare like roti-subzi or dal-chawal that kids make their ‘yucky’ faces. While they get hungrier and crankier, you get angrier – after all, no one wants to waste food!

But you don’t have to! If your kids’ fussiness have resulted in quite a few rotis leftover and you dare not serve them again, then you need to get creative. You need to reinvent the roti! And we have the perfect way to do it, by turning plain, boring rotis into roti noodles!
