Quick dosa with schezwan leftovers, sadhya-style

This food adventure started with our dear friend Manjari, who generously gave us two banana leaves from her home garden. We had the pleasure of using them for lunch today, and what a lovely experience.

More so, Twinkle and I got to share one plate. It felt so much more romantic than eating off two separate plates, and practically speaking, cleanup was easy.

I learned in this process that banana leaves are wildly sustainable. They grow well in our climate, and after a quick damp towel wipe you can eat right off them. There's a natural coating that keeps them from getting soggy. Once you're done, just roll it up and throw it in the compost.

Creatively assembling your leftovers is a great way to put together lunch. It's tasty, enjoyable and fast, and that matters during the workday. A good reminder that leftovers plus a little creativity is the best workday lunch, especially shared.
