Crispy Rice Balls

How can leftover rice and veggies be used to win your kids’ hearts? It might sound like a riddle to you, but it is possible as you will see from this recipe. Cooked rice and colourful vegetables are used to make a mildly spiced dough that is shaped into balls and deep-fried. This is a wonderful way to include veggies into your kids’ diet, and an intelligent alternative to store-bought fries, chips and cheese balls. The Crispy Rice Balls are really so crunchy outside and soft inside that your kids will love it!

Preparation Time: 10 minutes.
Cooking Time: 20 minutes.
Makes 20 balls.

1 cup cooked rice (chawal)
½ cup grated carrot
¼ cup finely chopped onions
¼ cup chopped spinach (palak)
½ cup rice flour (chawal ka atta)
1½ tsp ginger-green chilli paste
1 tsp sugar
Salt to taste
Oil for deep-frying

For serving
Tomato ketchup

1. Combine all the ingredients and ¼ cup of water in a deep bowl and mix till the mixture binds well.
2. Divide the mixture into 20 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
3. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and deep-fry, a few balls at a time till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
Serve immediately with tomato ketchup.
