Description

Rice balls, also known as arancini, are a popular Italian snack. However, in India, we have our own version of rice balls that are equally delicious and easy to make. These rice balls are made with leftover rice and are stuffed with a spicy potato filling. They are perfect for a quick snack, as a side dish, or even as a lunchbox option for kids.

Prep Time

The preparation time for this recipe is about 20 minutes.

Cook Time

The cooking time for this recipe is 30 minutes.

Ingredients

For the rice balls:
  • 2 cups leftover rice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
For the filling:
  • 2 medium-sized potatoes
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Frying pan
  • Potato masher
  • Slotted spoon

Method

  1. Peel the potatoes and boil them until they are soft. Mash them using a potato masher and keep aside.
  2. In a frying pan, heat some oil and add cumin seeds. Once they start to splutter, add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
  3. Add the coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and add the mashed potatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes and keep aside to cool.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, mix the leftover rice, all-purpose flour, bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and pepper.
  5. Take a small portion of the rice mixture and flatten it on your palm. Add a spoonful of the potato filling in the center and close it to form a ball shape. Repeat the process until all the rice mixture is used up.
  6. Heat oil in a frying pan. Once hot, add the rice balls and fry until they turn golden brown on all sides.
  7. Using a slotted spoon, remove the rice balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can also add some chopped green chilies or ginger-garlic paste to the potato filling to make it even more flavorful.
  • Make sure the potato filling is completely cooled down before stuffing it in the rice balls, or it will make the rice mixture sticky and difficult to handle.
  • If you don't have leftover rice, you can cook fresh rice and let it cool down completely before using it for this recipe.
