Croquettes (lentil&rice)




Dal&Rice croquettes  served with beetroot hummus

Dal &rice is often cooked in Indian homes and the leftovers are used up in various forms. Various combinations of rice can be made from leftover rice like lemon rice curd rice tamarind rice etc . Similarly dal is often used to make chillas or parathas etc. Here I have made dal chawal croquettes which are very simple to make and delicious too. They taste great with tea.
