Every night after a wholesome meal, there is always some leftover. Why let it go to waste? With some imagination and a little effort, we can create mouth-watering treats with leftovers. If you have left some food, you always think that how I would eat them the next day— but there are ways to transform this food into a treat
The same happens with me occasionally and most of the time I give it a new life by transforming it into something interesting and yummy. In the morning today when I found that there was no vegetable to cook for the lunch, I got ready to make some rice preparations with last night’s leftover lal lobia/rongi. There was a little effort of boiling the rice and some chopping work to do and a yummy dish got prepared within minutes
