Do you ever have left over chapati’s? Well if you’re from an Indian household then usually the go to next day is a quick sautéed chapati cooked in yoghurt, which is super yummy.
However, I really wanted to find a way to use the left over chapatis in a differently, so I decided to substitute the rice or noodles that we’d usually have with a stir fry with shredded and crispy chapatis.
Stir Fry’s are a great go to meal when you’re short on time and don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen, so this made perfect sense to combine.
Try it out for yourselves and let me know how it turned out.

Ingredients
4-5 Chapati’s
1 Tbsp Oil
1/4 Tsp Asafoetida Powder
1/8 Tsp Turmeric Powder
1/4 Tsp Red Chilli Powder
1/4 Tsp Himalayan Salt
1 Medium Carrot
1/4 Small White Cabbage
8 Baby Corns
50g Tenderstem Broccoli
60g Mangetout
1 Red Pepper
1 Tbsp Sesame Seed Oil
1 Red Chilli (opt)
1 Inch Ginger Piece
1 Tsp Dark Soy Sauce
1 Tsp Stir Fry Sauce
1 Tsp Vinegar
1 Tsp Salt
Sprinkle of Sesame Seeds
Method
- To shred the chapatis I used a pizza cutter to swipe up and down cutting the chapati into very thin shreds.
- Mean while heat up the wok and once hot add in the oil.
- Add in the asafoetida, turmeric, red chilli powder, salt and mix.
- Add in the shredded chapati’s and mix.
- Start to stir as it begins to crisp up to ensure it doesn’t burn.
- Once the chapati is all crispy take out and spread onto a wide plate (this is will allow it to cool without trapping any moisture so it doesn’t turn soggy).
- Prepare the vegetables: shred the cabbage, cut the mangetout and baby corn in half and chop the rest into thin one inch pieces.
- Finely dice the ginger and red chilli.
- Heat up the same wok and once hot add in the sesame seed oil.
- Add in the ginger and chilli and cook until the ginger starts to brown.
- Add in all the vegetables except the red pepper.
- Stir fry the vegetables for 5 mins.
- Add in the soy sauce, stir fry sauce, vinegar and salt.
- Add in the red peppers and cook further for another 5 mins as the vegetables are tender and cooked.
- Add in the shredded chapatis just before serving to ensure is they stay crispy.
Hope you enjoy this creation!
