Yesterday being a weekend evening, felt like having some quick snack. I fist thought of doing Baked Besan Bonda/ Baked Onion Pakoda, but I didn't have enough Besan flour. I also didn't have enough patience to soak and do anything. Suddenly I noticed I had some leftover rice. One of my friends had once told me that her mom makes Vathal (Fryums) with leftover rice. My mom prepares Vadam with rice flour and tapioca sago, dries them in sun for 2 days and it is deep fried in oil. OMG, I love it. I wanted to try something similar to my friend's mom version. I won't say it was as crispy as fried version, but soft and a bit chewy snack.
Baked Rice Cracker
Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 20 - 25 mins
Recipe Category: Snack
Ingredients:
Cooked Rice - 1 cup (I used Brown rice, any rice can be used)
Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
Coriander powder - 1/4 tsp
Garlic Powder - 1/8 esp
Salt - as needed
Oil/ Cooking spray - to grease (I used cooking spray )
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit. Place baking paper on baking tray and grease it
- Add cooked rice, lemon juice, garlic powder, coriander powder and salt, and Combine well
- Add water if required and make a dough. Make some balls (Marble size). Gently press them to flat thin circles ( around1/8 inch approximately)
- Bake them for 18 -24 minutes, turning sides
My Notes:
- Try to make small flat crackers, else the edges will dry out while the centers remain too moist
- Instead of garlic powder, you can add chilli powder, onion powder, cumin powder etc.
- Can make the dough flat and cut with cookie cutter
- Over cooking may tend to dry out the rice completely
