Rice Pakoda or Rice Pakora is a great snack idea and also to finish off the leftover rice.I made this pakoda when I had leftover rice,amma asked me to make vadams but since the day was gloomy and dull,I understood it was not the right day to dry vadams.So changed my mind to make these rice pakodas and yes I wanted to have a post too 😀

My Notes:
- I like my pakoda to be textured so I didn’t grind it mixie.
- If you want smooth pakodas then you can grind it in mixie.
- Adding rice flour gives crispy texture.
- Be patient and fry the pakodaa until golden brown.

Wow, that's a very good way to reuse leftover rice. Never seen this anywhere before.
Can i use Leftover Basmati Rice for the above recipe, the grains of Basmati rice are long, so do u think it will make any major difference please ?
No not really may be the taste might differ but am sure it will taste good.
