RICE BALLS

In this recipe I have used leftover rice from the night before. It’s a nice dish which can be served as an appetiser.

Ingredients:-

·       200gms plain cooked rice

·       1 egg

·       2 tablespoons corn flour

·        Fresh ground black pepper

·        Salt

·        Mozzarella cheese

·        Basil leaves

·        Bread crumbs

          Preparation:-

·        Beat an egg into the rice. Add salt and pepper to taste.

·        Add 2 tablespoons of corn flour and mix it properly with the rice.

·        With wet hands, take a small amount of rice and flatten it on your hand. Keep a cube of mozzarella cheese and one basil leaf on it. Take some more rice and cover the mozzarella. Roll it into a ball.

·        Roll the rice balls in bread and deep fry till golden brown.

·        Make as many rice balls from the rest of the mixture.

·        Serve hot. The mozzarella inside melts and gives it a very gooey centre.
