This is a great snack/breakfast and a good use of left over Chapatis/Rotis. This is also known as Kuskara and Fodnichi poli.
This is a typical Maharashtrian Dish (From Western Indian state of Maharashtra)
Inspiration for this recipe came from my mom. Anytime we have enough left over Chapatis, we used to get Kuskara for snacks.
Now sometimes I deliberately make some extra Chapatis so that I can make Kuskara the next day for breakfast.
