Fodnichi Poli / Spicy Chapati Churma / Spicy Chapati Mixture

Fodnichi Poli
This is something you will find in every Maharashtrian house. According to me this is a perfect dish we can make out of the "Extra Chapatis" which are left over from previous night.
Easy, tasty and quick.
This wasn't something I planned for the blog to post it, I had 3 Fulkas left over from previous day and so I prepared it.


Ingredients ( I used )It is sufficient for one person. You can enlarge it as per your need.
3 medium sized Fulka/Chapati. Crush them in Mixer or food processor to chop them in small pieces. As you can see it in the picture above.
1 medium onion finely chopped
1 or 2 Green chillies or as per your taste
15-20 Groundnuts/Peanuts
5-6 Curry leaves
Mustard seeds, Cumin seeds 1/2 TSP each
Turmeric powder 1/4 TSP
Salt to taste
Sugar 1/2 TSP


procedure:

  1. Pour oil in a pan. Around 3-4 TSP ( 1TSP = 5 ml ;adjust as per your taste/usage)
  2. Once heated, add mustard seeds, once they splutter add cumin seeds then curry leaves,turmeric powder.
  3. Add chopped Onion, chopped green chili.Mix well. On medium heat cook the onion well. Add groundnuts/peanuts.
  4. Once onion is cooked to soft, add Crushed chapati mixture to it.
  5. Mix well. Add salt to taste.
  6. Cover with lid and keep the flame on low-medium heat. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Before serving garnish with chopped coriander and serve hot.
Note: If you put little salt in the Chapatis/Fulkas, please be careful while putting salt to this dish. It will become salty otherwise.

Treat yourself  :-)
