#riceisthebest - This is my innovative appetizer prepared with some leftover rice and hung curd. So the popular South Indian comfort food gets an interesting makeover. I added some pomegranate pearls, chopped mint leaves and some basic seasonings to turn the curd rice into yummy koftas. So you have a crisp exterior due to the rice flour. Relish them hot with some mayonnaise, green chutney or coconut chutney for a divine experience. They are perfect for an evening tea time snack too. #goldenapron
