Leftover rice pakoda, a crispy deep-fried snack made with leftover rice. Leftover cooked rice is mixed with besan, onions and spices and deep-fried for a delicious snack.

With the lockdown situation, most of us are at home, so it is natural to cook a little more, which sometimes ends up as leftover.

Leftover rice pakoda

Being a rice eater, we always have a small cup of rice extra. I usually make mixed rice with the rice the next day, or add it while grinding idly/dosa batter for soft idly.

This time i tried making rice pakoda with them . It turned out delicious and kiddos enjoyed them.

What to note while making this recipe

The rice used to make this pakoda has to be softly done. If the rice is dry, sprinkle little water and steam it in microwave, so it becomes soft.

The leftover rice pakoda mix should be tight and bindable, do not add more water and make it soggy.
