Patties with leftover Pongal

One of the best breakfasts of a South Indian house hold is Pongal. It tastes best when eaten hot. But when it sits for few hours, pongal tends to become thick. I feel that leftover pongal can be really boring to eat at times.

My mom used the leftover pongal to make patties. We used to have the pongal patties as a snack after school.

Its a very simple recipe which takes hardly ten minutes to make.

Recipe:

About 2 cups of pongal
Rice flour- 3 tablespoons
Green chillies (chopped)- 3
Onion (chopped)- 1/2
few coriander leaves
Salt and pepper

In a plate take 2 tbsps of rice flour, little bit of salt and pepper. Mix and keep it on the side.

In a vessel mix the pongal with a tablespoon of rice flour, green chillies, onion, coriander and salt. Make medium size patties with it. It might be little sticky. Now dust both sides of the patties with the rice flour, salt and pepper mixture.

In a pan put few teaspoons of oil and fry the patties about 3 minutes on each side. It should have a nice crispy texture on the top. But it will be still soft inside.

Serve immediately with coriander chutney.



Note: While frying, you need to put a good amount of oil.
