Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 1 medium Carrot (grated)
- 1 small Zucchini (grated)
- 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 small Green chili (finely chopped, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped onion, green chili (if using), and chopped cilantro.
Add the all-purpose flour, rice flour, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and salt to the vegetable mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring to form a thick batter that can hold its shape but is still spreadable.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a flat griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and spread it gently into a round pancake shape, around 1/4 inch thick.
Cook the pancake on one side for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges begin to look set and the bottom is golden brown. Flip it carefully with a spatula.
Cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the vegetable rice pancakes warm, accompanied by a dipping sauce like yogurt or chutney.
