Cutlets with leftover rice

Cutlets made with leftover cooked rice; because why waste it or make the usual fried/masala rice with it when you can make something different! I’ve also made these with leftover biryani. Yep!! It’s easier, because no spices, just mashed potato and egg to be mixed and smashed in with the rice (the masala of the biryani is enough to give it flavour).

Ingredients:
1 cup cooked rice
1 medium to large potato (boiled, peeled and mashed)
1 medium-sized onion (finely chopped)
1 green chilli (chopped)
Handful of chopped coriander leaves
1 pinch turmeric powder
1 pinch red chilli powder
½ tsp. cumin powder
½ tsp. coriander powder
¼ to ½ tsp. garam masala
1 egg
Breadcrumbs as required
Salt as required
Oil for shallow frying (if not air frying)

Method:
Mix all the ingredients together. The rice will also get mashed while you mix.
Shape the mixture into small to medium-sized cutlets.
Dip into the beaten egg and then breadcrumbs and shallow fry.

A different style of bhel to try, using makhana to make it a healthy snack.

Ingredients
2 cups makhana
1 finely-chopped onion
½ finely-chopped tomato
¼ cup boiled sweet corn
A handful of pomegranate and peanuts.

Method
Roast the makhana. To that add the onion, tomato, boiled sweet corn, pomegranate and peanuts.
For the chutney, no need to stress about making tamarind/green chutney.
Use sweet chilli sauce and a big squeeze of lime, and you will have a healthy and very enjoyable snack ready in no time at all!

Snacks that are just unusual!

Snacks, for us, range from pakoras on rainy days, bhel puri for lazy evenings or cutlets and fries while hanging out with friends. How about something different? Let’s look at some truly bizarre (and hopefully delicious) snacks out there.

Chocolatey samosas

Potatoes and spices bring heaven down to earth in the form of samosas. What if they were filled with chocolate, instead? From India comes this fascinating creation that marries chocolatey goodness with deep fried delight! There is obviously a huge demand for it — why else would there be chocolate samosa pav? A dessert samosa after a spicy samosa sounds good!
