You would never have imagined that leftover rice can be cooked up into such an exciting snack! Add some coriander and green chillies for pep, a few flours for binding, and there you have a quick-fix batter to make tasty Rice and Besan Pancakes. The batter made using 2 cups of leftover rice can make around 14 pancakes, made in two batches. Before preparing the second batch, you might have to add a tablespoon or two of water to bring the batter back to dropping consistency, as the rice tends to soak up the water and thicken the batter a bit. You can serve these pancakes with green chutney, or make it all the more exciting by topping with an assortment of colourful chutneys.
