Do you also have leftover rice from last night or lunchtime in your refrigerator? Often, we wonder what to do with this leftover rice – we either reheat and eat it or throw it away if we don't feel like eating it. So, today we're going to tell you about a "special recipe" that will transform this boring rice into a super tasty snack.

Yes, we're talking about "Rice Cutlets." This dish is so crispy and delicious that no one will believe it's made from leftover rice.

Why is this dish special?
Its biggest highlight is its texture. It's incredibly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Whether it's for evening tea or unexpected guests, this snack can be prepared in minutes and will win everyone's hearts.

Ingredients for making Rice Cutlets
You don't need to go to the market to make this; everything is already in your kitchen:

Leftover rice (1 bowl)
Boiled potatoes (2 medium-sized - for binding)
Finely chopped onion, green chilies, and coriander leaves
Spices: Salt, red chili powder, chaat masala, and a little cumin seeds
For crispiness: Semolina or breadcrumbs

How to make Rice Cutlets
First, in a large bowl, mash the leftover rice and boiled potatoes thoroughly. Make sure the rice and potatoes are well combined so that the cutlets don't break apart. Now add the chopped onion, chilies, coriander, and all the spices.

Now, grease your hands with a little oil and make small patties or cutlets from the mixture. You can make them round, oval, or even heart-shaped.

This is the step that will make your cutlets as crispy as those from the market. Coat the prepared cutlets in semolina or breadcrumbs. The semolina coating gives it an amazing crunch after frying.

Heat some oil in a pan and fry the cutlets over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. There's no need to deep fry them; they turn out delicious even with less oil.

Serve the hot rice cutlets with green chutney or tomato ketchup. A cup of ginger tea on the side will make it even more enjoyable.

Next time you have leftover rice, don't worry. Just take 10 minutes and make this amazing dish. Believe me, your family will be licking their fingers and asking you to make it again and again.
