Turn your Leftovers into an Exciting New Meal

With social distancing and the Covid-19, making it impossible to step out of the house, we would suggest save up on the leftover meals. Do not send them to the trash bin. We agree, eating the same food consecutively for few days can get boring. There are ways in which you can turn leftovers into exciting new meals. Chef Sagar Bajaj shows us how to turn leftover mac and cheese into delicious buns.
