Rice Patties

Like all mothers, I constantly worry about the best home cooked food to feed my children. Something that is easy to make and at the same time nutritious too. 

I came across this recipe on saffron trail, made a few changes and it was the yummy snack of the day.

You Need:

• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 medium size carrot grated fine
• 4 tbsp chopped corriander
• 2 tbsp gram flour / besan
• 2 tbsp semolina / rava
• 1 green chillie finely chopped
• Juice from 1/2 a lemon
• A pinch turmeric
• Chillie powder as per taste
• Salt
• Oil

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients except oil and mix well. 
• Check seasoning and adjust as per taste.
• Shape into round patties of about 1cm thickness.
• In a non-stick pan heat about a tablespoon of oil and cook the patties on both sides till brown and crisp.
• Serve hot with chutney or sauce.

I made 20 medium size patties with this quantity of rice.

Notes:

• Stale rice works best for this recipe
• Warm the rice slightly in the microwave.
• If the rice is very dry. sprinkle a little water before you microwave it.
