Made extra rice and now you don’t know what to do with that leftover rice. Though there are lot of preparations with white rice like curd rice, tomato rice etc. These Rice cutlets are one of the ways to use up that extra rice into a delicious snack which your family will love munching on.
Serve it as an evening snack or breakfast.It is loaded with veggies like carrot, potatoes and you can even add other veggitables like green peas, cabbage and sweet corn. Here I have shallow fried the cutlets for a healthier version, but you free to deep fry it. Coating with bread crumbs and egg dip is totally optional.

Saute onion, crushed ginger, garlic and chopped green chillies till onion turns translucent.
Add cooked rice and mix well. turn off the flame. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix well. Make a lemon size ball and flatten it placing in between your palms. Repeat till the dough is finished.
Place cutlets on pan and let it fry for 4-5 minutes till golden spot appears. Flip over and cook the other side till golden brown. Take off from flame and serve hot with ketchup as a snack or a breakfast.
