Instructions

Making rice cutlet mixture

  1. Take all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, except oil.
  2. Mix very well. Check the taste and add more of the ground spice powders or salt if needed.
  3. Mix everything very well. When you are mixing, the rice will also get mashed.
  4. Shape the mixture into small to medium sized patties or tikkis.

Frying rice cutlet

  1. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a frying pan or tawa (skillet). Keep the heat to medium low to medium hot.
  2. When the oil becomes medium hot, place the rice cutlets on the tawa.
  3. When the base is lightly browned, flip them using a spatula and fry the other side.
  4. Flip again and fry till they are crisp and golden. You will have to flip them a couple of times for even cooking.
  5. When nicely crisp and golden, remove them and place them on kitchen paper towel so that any extra oil is absorbed if any.
  6. Serve Rice Cutlet hot with coriander chutney or mint chutney or tomato ketchup.

Notes

  • Spices and green chilies can be adjusted as per your taste.
  • Make sure the rice is well cooked and not al-dente.
  • You can even pan fry the cutlets with less oil. You can use any neutral-flavored oil.
  • Instead of besan, you can also use roasted black chickpea flour (sattu) or cornstarch or rice flour and even breadcrumbs.
  • The recipe can be doubled or tripled.
  • If you want to include some veggies in these cutlets then you can consider adding ¼ cup of grated veggies like carrots or beetroot. Some boiled or steamed peas can also be added.
