Another simple pleasure shared

When I was growing up,one of  the staple weekend breakfasts,comprised of Kuskara or Phodnichi poli. This is essentially made from leftover Rotis.The leftover Roti/chapati is crushed or broken into small bits/flakes.These flakes are seasoned with salt and a pinch of sugar and stir fried with onions and served hot,garnished with fresh coriander and a dash of lemon juice. Yummm…

I have missed this favorite breakfast,over the last few years since we got married.Whenever I make chapati/paratha for the two of us,we finish it.Or may be one or maximum two chapatis are leftover..we end up eating those,as it is. When I go to India,I ask the maid to make 5 extra rotis,for each meal..that way,every other day,I eat kuskara for breakfast!My dad doesn’t get this fixation of mine..and wonders why I want to eat this,when I can eat something fresh every day..but what can I do..I HEART this.

Offlate,now that Ms.Aadya eats with us..and its not fixed how many chapatis she will eat..sometimes,she sits at the table with us and eats a chapati or two,when we are eating..on other days,she doesn’t even touch it.As a result,we now have some left over chapatis :D..So,the other day,I made around 6-7 extra chapatis,and made this Kuskara for breakfast and asked Aadya to taste it.She didn’t want to taste it,at first..then,when she tasted it,she loved it..and asked for more.Even asked me to give it her for lunch,the next day.I was happy…I would trade the crackers&chips&biscuits  for a good wholesome breakfast anyday!
