#riceisthebest - A great way to brighten up your evening is to have these delicious snacks along with your evening tea or coffee. It is very quick and easy to make. A very good use of our leftover rice is made here by dishing out these mouth-watering snacks. Instead of the usual chutney and sauce, try having them with some homemade hummus or mayo. It simply tastes awesome.
