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.
