Leftover rice is a very common thing in any Bengali household. Usually, the leftover rice is fried and then served either in the form of lemon rice or an improvised form of fried rice. However, on my never-ending search of the internet for quick recipes for kids landed me to dassana amit's recipe for rice cutlet ( http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/rice-cutlet-recipe/ ) and I loved her way of utilising leftover rice in making something so tasty yet packed with nutrition. You can check on her recipe in the link provided above, she illustrates beautifully with step-by-step pictures. I have adapted her recipe and made some minor changes to suit my family's palate:
Ingredients:
Leftover rice : 1cup
Carrot : 1 grated finely
Boiled potato : 2
Besan / chana sattu : 2tbsp
Onions : 1 chopped finely
Chilli powder : 1tsp (optional)
Chaat masala : 2tsp
Amchur pwd. : 2tsp
Sugar : 1tsp
Salt to taste
Mash all properly and shape into cutlets and shallow fry in a non-stick fry pan. Your rice cutlet is ready!!!!😆😆
