Layered Tikki Chaat & Vegetable Puffs ( Leftover special!)

How many of us struggle with the leftovers being passed around without anyone wanting to eat them. Every leftover can be spiced up ,altered and created into a brandnew dish without even knowing it was the leftovers from our earlier meals. Creativeness is key in this ,at the same time the nutrition has to be retained as we may be overcooking the food. Herez an example of my leftover special and also my entry to the   Left Over delicacies Event hosted by our friend  Chef of the Loungehttp://spicylounge.blogspot.com/
Thanks for coming up with such a challenging event!
