PHODNICHI POLI | MARATHI LEFTOVER POLICHA KUSKARA | Tadka chapatii

A very popular Maharashtrian breakfast is Phodnichi Poli/POLICHA KUSKARA. Leftover Rotis (Poli as it is called in Marathi) from previous night are recycled the next morning for breakfast, by dressing them up with some spicy tadka (tempering).

I never like this recipe during my childhood. Recently I tasted this in one of my colleagues tiffin .I SIMPLY LOVED IT . Since then i started preparins this though my husband doesnt like this dish much..
