FAQs
Q) What if I have only 1 or 2 leftover chapatis?
For making Roti Noodles, you need at least 4 to 6 chapatis. Making these with just 1 or 2 chapatis is not worth at all. So, what to do? In this case, you have 2 options. The first option is to make Roti Quesadillas. But if you want to make Roti Noodles only, then freeze the leftover chapati/s. When you have collected at least 6 or more depending upon how much you need then take out the chapatis from the freezer, let them thaw and then cut strips and proceed.
Q) Can I make this with fresh chapatis?
As we need to cut the strips of chapati, therefore using fresh chapatis is not a very good idea. This is because they tend to break as the fresh chapatis are very soft. Therefore either use leftover chapatis or make chapatis a few hours ahead and then make these noodles.
