Planning for Leftovers
If you're worried about going shopping and then cooking again after returning home, plan a day. Prepare a large quantity of your favorite recipe. This will allow you to store extra food in your refrigerator, saving you the stress of cooking. For this, you can make extra batter for cheela or dosa and store it, or keep uncooked patties or boiled potatoes.

These items taste better.
If you have leftovers from dinner or lunch, plan your next meal around the leftovers. However, some foods taste better when reheated, such as soups, dal, curries, roasted vegetables, and one-pot meals.

Store in a transparent container
We often forget where we put food in the fridge, so always store it in a transparent glass lunch box or mason jar. This will keep it visible every time you open the fridge, helping you remember.

Incorporate leftovers into your recipes.
If you don't have enough leftovers to fill your next meal, incorporate them into your recipes. For example, use cooked vegetables in an omelet or cheela, or add boiled chickpeas to a salad. You can make delicious vegetable fried rice or egg rice from leftover rice.

Leftovers Party
If you've accumulated a lot of leftovers in your fridge, take out all the containers and have a leftovers party. Ask everyone in the house what they'd like to eat from the leftovers and serve them in a new form. This way, your leftover food will also be finished, and you all will be able to spend a good time together.
