Leftover Rice Cutlet: Healthy Snacking Option

leftover rice tikkis

I have made leftover rice cutlets earlier. Made these today especially for a neighbor next door, who was celebrating his 75th birthday.

You can't get happier than this - bringing smiles on other's faces. Can you?
Not at least in my case. As I am not a foodie, I never cook for myself (except cookies). I cook to get a first-hand experience of healthy recipes. My mission is to find a balance between health & food.

I try to include healthy ingredients in my recipes, so everyone can enjoy healthy recipes. This is why I opened the group "Healthy Recipes by Homemakers" in Facebook, where talented homemakers from across the world share healthy recipes.

This group is an open invitation to anybody willing to share or learn everything about healthy eating.
