I make rice everyday and in the weekends i almost always have leftover rice. now my hubby goes to work on Saturdays and I don't have to cook lunch so leftovers is a very good thing for me as i m too lazy. but plain rice is booorrrriiing. Hence this!!! it is very yummy and a very good appetizer or side.. enjoy!!!

Steps

15 mins

1

In a large bowl mix all the ingredients except the oil (reserve some green onion greens to garnish)
2

Add a tablespoon of water and mix well. if the mixture is still to dry add another tablespoon of the water. the mixture should b fairly dry but just coming together
3

Heat the oil in a pan or skillet. wet ur hands and form balls of the rice mixture (the size depends on u; u can make them golf sized or tennis ball sized)
4

Flatten the balls into flat cakes making the edges flatter than the centre this will give the cakes both a crispy and soft texture
5

Fry the cakes in the hot oil on medium-low heat till they get golden brown and crispy on each side (around 2-3 min each side). Drain the oil thoroughly (the cakes can absorb oil quite well) so squeeze the oil out gently and then drain them on paper towels
6

Remove them on a plate, garnish it with the green onions and serve it with whatever dip or sauce u want something tangy and spicy is best. I served it with my tomato chutney. The recipe is on my profile

NOTE: this makes a lot. You can keep the leftover mixture in the fridge for a day. Add flour or water as needed and cook next day
