roti ka upma

This recipe is my mom's recipe which i have exactly written over here,when we were small and  if she had to go somewhere or was tied up with some other work she  use to make chapatis and keep for the dinner which was less time consuming and only she had to make some side dish ,but also sometimes if her grocery stock was over she use to make this dish with the leftover chapatis and we use to just cherish like anything.Even after my marraige i continued making this dish as my husband also finds it very tempting,sometimes i purposely make some extra dough during lunch and make few chapatis and keep and i make this upma in our dinners :),and at times in my dinner if i have some dough left i make the chapatis instead of keeping the dough and next day morning i use the leftover chapatis for this upma in my breakfast as well.This recipe goes for the event  " leftover delicacies " hosted by Daisy Blue of spicylounge.
