Rice Pakora Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup cooked basmati rice
• 1 medium size onion, finely chopped
• 1 inch ginger, finely chopped
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped
• a handfull of fresh coriander leaves
• 1/4 sp red chilli powder
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp carom seeds
• 1 tsp coriander seeds, crushed
• 5 tbsp gram flour (besan)
• 5-6 tbsp water or as required
• oil for frying.

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a big bowl place rice. Mash rice with hands until soft and fully mashed. If too hard add a few drops of water and heat in the microwave for a few seconds.
2. Once the rice is mashed add in (onion, ginger, coriander leaves, green chilli, carom seeds, turmeric powder, gram flour and salt). Mix well until fully combined.
3. Adding water won't be necessary as the onion will release its own juices and make the mixture moist enough to turn it into a paste. If still too dry you can add a few tablespoon of water.
4. Heat oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot take a tablespoon of the mixture and heat place that in the hot oil. Keep the temperature of the oil on medium heat. 
5. Let the rice pakoras turns into a light golden brown colour.
6. Once golden brown remove from oil and transfer onto a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
7. Enjoy warm and serve with mint chutney!
