Instructions

Making rice cutlet mixture

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

Frying rice cutlet

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