Rice patties recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a very delicious, healthy and easy to make rice patties recipe that is vegan and gluten free. I often get requests for leftover rice recipes. I have even made a post on Indian recipes with leftover rice. Now this is a detailed post with step wise pictures for making rice patties or rice cutlets. Last week I had some leftover rice and made these super delicious rice patties or rice cutlets. This is our favorite snack and as always it was so tasty and we loved it. It is best to serve these rice tikkis piping hot with some green chutney or sauce.

In this rice patties recipe I have avoided bread crumbs and used gram flour. Also I have not added any cheese or paneer. This is a vegan and gluten free rice patties recipe. You can however coat the shaped tikkis with bread crumbs and add some grated paneer along with veggies if you wish. In whichever way you make these cutlets will be delicious. These are no deep fry rice patties. I have shallow fried them one by one with just 2 tablespoons oil in a very small kadai. It sure takes time but very tasty and crispy cutlets with very less oil.

To make rice patties recipe the cooked rice had to be mashed thoroughly. I have made it quiet spicy by adding ginger-green chili paste. You can make it mildly spiced by adding very less chili powder or just pepper powder. I have also added some sweet corn and finely chopped onions. I suggest you add onions as they are very good in this recipe. Instead of corn you can add peas or just omit it too.
