Transforming Leftover Rice into a Snack

It's common to have leftover rice after meals, and while many choose to reheat it or discard it, there's a fantastic way to repurpose it. You can create a delightful snack that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!

Introducing rice cutlets! These treats are not only simple to prepare but are also a hit among all age groups. Let’s dive into the recipe step-by-step.

Ingredients
2 cups of cooked rice
2 medium-sized boiled potatoes
1/2 cup finely chopped vegetables (like carrots, bell peppers, and peas)
Finely chopped green chilies and ginger or their paste
Spices: 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon chaat masala, and salt to taste
2-3 tablespoons of gram flour or cornflour for binding
Breadcrumbs for extra crispiness
Oil for frying

Preparation Method
Begin by placing the cooked rice in a large bowl and lightly mashing it to make it sticky. Next, incorporate the grated boiled potatoes, which will help bind the rice.

Add your choice of finely chopped vegetables, ginger-chili paste, and all the dry spices into the mixture. Finally, mix in the gram flour or cornflour for binding.

To shape the cutlets, apply a bit of oil to your hands to prevent sticking. Take a small portion of the mixture and form it into your preferred shape, whether round or oval.

Coat the shaped cutlets generously with breadcrumbs. This will ensure they absorb less oil while frying and achieve a crispy texture.

Heat oil in a pan until moderately hot. Carefully place the cutlets in the oil and fry them over medium heat until they turn golden brown on both sides. Once done, transfer them to a kitchen towel to drain excess oil.
