Leftover Recipe - Detox drink ( cucumber)

Hey guys I like to share the things which I have tried and also the taste of which is very good.
I had some finely diced cucumbers as leftover with me so I thought of making detox drink out of it.

To make Detox drink of cucumber you will need :-

1-2 cups cucumbers
2-3 slices of lemon
3-4  cups of water

Take a jug and add water and cucumbers and mix well. Add 2-3 slices of lemon and if you want you can squeeze one slice of lemon. Allow it to rest for 2-3 hours and serve. You can also add ice before serving.

Note :- Drain cucumber and lemon slice before serving. 

Tip- How to use leftover green chilies

Green Chilies are used in our everyday food. I like spicy food and when it comes to green chilies I make most use of it.

I had bought some extra green chilies as I found this week little cheaper. I washed green chilies and made them completely dry and then took out seeds and made a rough chop and freezed it in container.

Also if you find that your chilies are going to stale in few days then wash them and cut them into large pieces and keep in ziploc bag in refrigerator and it will be good for about week. 

Tip- How to store leftover naan

 I had a party last week and I had some left over naan after distributing to friends. I thought of making good use of it.

When the party was over immediately I kept all the naan (butter) in a ziploc bag and kept in freezer. I am taking out naan as required and keep at room temperature for about 1 hour before using and it is still fresh. After one hour of resting at room temperature or 30 minutes, you can microwave or make it warm on griddle. I have tried both the methods, making warm in microwave and on stove top and it does not feel chewy to me. 

So go ahead and try to freeze your naan and use it for a week!

Note :- Please check naan every time before you eat or use it, if you find bad smell or taste is bad then do not use it.
