Recipe for easy and quick pakora made with leftover rice. A quick and easy evening snack that can be prepared in minutes. Recipe with step by step pictures.
This is a perfect recipe to put together for a snack when you have surprise visitors at home. The main ingredient for this recipe is cooked rice. Cooked rice is mixed with veggies and spices and is deep fried. The rice pakoras come out very crispy and is a perfect way to make use of that little leftover rice. Here is how to do leftover rice pakora.
Take a bowl and add in two cups of cooked rice. Mash well with hands.
Add in finely chopped onions, coriander leaves, chopped green chillies, salt, asafoetida and cumin seeds. Add in a little besan (chickpea flour) for binding the batter. Mix well to combine.
Heat oil in a kadai until hot. Gently drop little pieces of the batter in oil.
The batter will form a lot of bubbles at first. The bubbles will subside after a couple of minutes. Fry till the pakoras are golden.
Serve hot with tea.
