Chapathi Masala Noodles Leftover cooking

I had a stand in cook for a few days. I can see many a raised eyebrow but yes! i did and i am not very proud of it. I hate it when my kitchen is invaded by a soul who does not know that cooking is the only science which always makes you happy. No matter how many times i tell her that she had to make 12 rotis, she had to ask this question religiously everyday. The irony is she never made that many. She always made more. And that day, she had stretched the limit and made 20. 20 for 2 people is too too many. I mean, do i look like the kind who eats 10? Please say no, atleast think no. Otherwise i ll be heartbroken. So what does one do with leftover chapathis? Search the web for leftover recipes and make Chapathi Masala Noodles. So down to business.
