Should I grind rice?

if you are using mushy rice no need to grind the rice. Mash the rice well and use it. If the rice is fluffy, pulse once then use. Avoid fine grinding that will give different texture

Rice for pakora?

I have used cooked sona masoori rice. You can use any variety of rice. Avoid basmati rice as it will be fluffy. 

Should I add rice flour to the onion pakora?

since I used leftover rice, I skipped rice flour. If the dough is watery, you can sprinkle rice flour.

Can I skip onion for pakoda?

Yes, you can use cabbage instead or make pakora without any add-ons.

What should be the consistency of leftover rice onion pakoda dough?

Based on the rice you use, sprinkle very little water. Avoid adding more water

The pakoda dough should be

✔️Sticky

✔️Able to roll

✔️Resemble poori dough 

How to check if the oil is at the right temperature?

Check the oil temperature by adding a small piece of the dough. If the dough comes up gradually and steadily on top, the oil is hot enough to fry. If it comes up too quickly, then the oil is too hot. Simmer and adjust to the right temperature. If it settles down at the bottom of Kadai or comes up very slowly, the oil is not hot enough, so increase the heat.

Shelf Life for leftover rice pakoda

Pakoda stays best for one day. The next day it might turn slightly hard. Avoid keeping more than 2 days.

How long should I fry chawal pakora?

Always fry pakoda on medium flame. Fry till pakoda turns golden brown always froth subsides. Avoid high flame.

Add on for pakoda?

You can add
