Leftover Rice/Khichdi/Pulav/curd rice/any type of Rice based Recipe:Rice balls


Leftover Rice/Khichdi/Pulav/curd rice/any type of Rice based Recipe:
Sometimes we have left over rice which we never feel like eating again. Let’s play with the leftover stuff. We can call rice balls also. Its very healthy because there is no frying in it and I have used whole grain for the base. You can eat steam ball also.

Ingredients: 
Rice base leftover 2 cups
Wheat grained flour (wheat crumbs) - 2 cup
TiP: It is not easy to get wheat crumbs so in the market you will get bansi suji or regular rava or you can use Oat also. 
Use ENO -1/2 tsp I don’t use oil
Tip: Oil- 2 tbsp instead of use less oil (1tbsp) or no oil and
Yogurt- 3 tsp
Red chili powder- 1-2 tsp
Turmeric- 1 tsp
Sugar / jaggery- 2 tbsp
For seasoning
Mustard- 1 tsp
Cumin- 1 tsp
Asafetida- 1 tsp
Sesame seed – 2 tsp
Curry leave- 4-5
Oil- 2 tbsp
Lemon juice- 1 tbsp for dressing
Method: 
Take the left over rice/khichdi in a big bowl. Add some wheat flour/bansi suji/ rava/ oat. 
Add salt, jaggery, turmeric powder, chili powder and yogurt and ENO or oil. 
Mix it well. Add water as necessary. You should be able to make long rolls out of it. (Tip: 3- 4 inches in length). 
Divide dough into 7 -8 parts & make a long roll. Place all roll in preheated steamer for 15- 20 min. Cut roll in ½ inch.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a small pan. Splutter mustard, cumin, sesame seed, curry leave and asafetida.
Pour over steamed muthia in pieces. 
Garnish with coriander and lemon juice. Serve hot
