Something that is quick and easy and also hits the spot. My maid makes extra rotis and namkeen parathas (my husband likes it with tea) almost everyday and so many times by the next morning lots of extra rotis are left. Sometimes if rotis are not at home I get theplas from the adjacent store and that works too. If you are in US then ofcourse you have rotis from rotiland to help you out.
Nonetheless this is a classic recipe that I tried and worked. Yest night my mom came from a flight at 12 at night and was hungry. There were only rotis for food and i made these rolls and she got emotional on eating them as she didnt expect anything. You can try variations of sauces ofcourse.
My ingredient list:
1) 1 Roti
2) 1 Egg
3) Finely chopped onions
4) Coriander leaves, some chopped green chillies
5) Lemon or amchur powder (for tanginess- one of the two is must)
6) Peri Peri sauce (Here you can try variations like pudina chutney etc etc
Method:
1) Put some oil in tava and put your roti
2) Whisk the egg and once the roti is hot - pour the whisked egg on the roti- don't let it spill outside the roti. Let it cook, you can turn the roti and egg so that it is firm.
3) Take the result out on a plate with the egg portion facing upwards.
4) Apply a little bit of peri peri sauce on the roti (alternative apply chilli sauce or pudina or coriander chutney)
5) Add the finely chopped onions, some green chilles and lots of coriander leaves.
6) Put amchur powder (i have it as standby and whenever there is no lemon (which is quite often) I put this to add tanginess.
6) Roll the roti and serve.
Everyone eats atleast 2. So ration accordingly.

Seems like yes and Richa Hingle's blog post : http://hobbyandmore.blogspot.com/2011/05/penne-with-basil-cashew-pesto-asparagus.html is my saviour.
She made pesto with basil, mint, green chillies, garlic, cashew. And she claims it is as yummy as the one made with cheese!

Paneer pakora with yoghurt - healthy alternative to deep fried variety
New dish new dish!
It's been raining the whole day and we were not being able to go out to do anything. And in the eve husband was getting really hungry so I decided to recall some recipe somewhere and made this.
Ingredient:
1) Yoghurt
2) Paneer
3) Besan (gram flour)
4) Lots of garlic - crushed
5) Coriander and green chillies and salt
1) Make sort of a batter with yoghurt, green chillies, coriander, crushed garlic. Add a little gram flour to it - helps in binding.
2) Cut paneer in small pieces and keep it in the batter for as long a time as you can to marinate (30 mins).
3) Have a non stick pan- brush it with oil and put the paneer cubes and let it be well done.
The resulting taste is garlicy and a little tangy because of yoghurt. And we finished it before i could take its snap :P.
