i have always been a great fan of deep fried and especially the pakoda recipes. basically, i do not seek any particular reason to make these and i make it with almost anything and everything. but this recipe of rice pakoda is very new to me and i was introduced to it very recently. as a matter of fact, one of my close friends had made this for our pot luck party. initially, i thought it must be made with besan or rice flour, but it was tasting a bit different. out of curiosity i asker her the recipe and i was surprised to learn that it is made with leftover cooked rice. it was having the crispiness of rice flour, at the same time it was moist with veggies added to it.
furthermore, some easy and critical tips, suggestions and variations for a crispy and lip-smacking rice pakora recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using leftover rice as they are dry, moisture-less and also more sticky. freshly cooked rice include more moisture and less sticky and evidently, you may find it difficult to mash it. secondly, adding veggies to the pakora is open-ended and you can add veggies of your choice. i personally like the combination carrots, cabbage and onion, but you can add as per your preference. lastly, deep fry the pakora in low to medium flame so that it gets cooked evenly. also deep fry these in small batches and do not overcrowd in your frying pan.
