Leftovers from every meal becomes an issue but somehow, I try to manage this better. My husband compliments (which is rare) that you are the leftover queen. No one would come to know you used left over stuff and turned in an easy and yummy dish. Last time we had talked about Cream Corn crackers, it was also invented when we had leftovers from a Chinese meal.
This time we will make use of leftover Rajma – Rice and make pakoda’s with a twist!!
Ingredients
- Boiled Rice – 1.5 cup
- Cooked Rajma- 1 cup
- Onion chopped- ½ cup
- Coriander leaves- 1 tbsp
- Green chilles chopped – 2 nos
- Salt
- Chat masala / Oregano- choose one otherwise flavours will be mixed
- Amchur powder
- Red chilli powder
- 1 tbsp cornflour to be mixed in the batter and additional 1 tbsp mixed in water
- Bread crumbs
- Oil for frying
Method
- Mix everything except additional cornflour and bread crumbs
- Shape into balls
- Dip each ball into the cornflour and water mixture
- Dust the above ball in bread crumbs
- Deep Fry the Balls
- Serve them with Tomato sauce or any sauce or dip of your choose
Variations – you can add cheese to the mixture or corn or bell peppers to give it tangy taste. I can vouch that it tastes really nice. My kids make me make it especially when there is a play date. I even had to cook fresh rajma and rice to make it!! So it is no longer a leftover dish but now called Rajma- Rice Balls.
