Step 1

Take all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, except oil.

Step 2

Mix very well. Check the taste and add more of the ground spice powders or salt if needed.

Step 3

Mix everything very well. When you are mixing, the rice will also get mashed.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into small to medium sized patties or tikkis.

Step 5

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a frying pan or tawa (skillet). Keep the heat to medium low to medium hot.

Step 6

When the oil becomes medium hot, place the rice cutlets on the tawa.

Step 7

When the base is lightly browned, flip them using a spatula and fry the other side.

Step 8

Flip again and fry till they are crisp and golden. You will have to flip them a couple of times for even cooking.

Step 9

When nicely crisp and golden, remove them and place them on kitchen paper towel so that any extra oil is absorbed if any.

Step 10

Serve Rice Cutlet hot with coriander chutney or mint chutney or tomato ketchup.
