Soya Koftas Pulao - with leftover rice


Leftover rice converted into a delicious and protein rich pulao - try this for sure if you are a Nutrela fan. You can deep fry the koftas or use an appe pan (please see my other 'no fry' recipes) for a healthier version.

Ingredients (serves 2)

For the koftas (makes about 8)
1/2 cup Nutrela granules
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon besan
2 tbsps chopped onion
1 green chilli chopped
1/2 tsp haldi
1/4 tsp grated garlic
Salt to taste
Oil to fry

For the pulao
2 cups leftover cooked rice
1/4 cup peanuts
1 small onion, finely sliced
2 tablespoons oil
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon garam masala powder
1/2 tsp haldi
Salt to taste
1 green chilli,chopped
Lemon slices to serve
Chopped coriander, to garnish


1. For the koftas, microwave the granules with the water for one minute. When cool , add all the remaining ingredients.
2. In a kadhai, heat oil for frying the koftas (or you can use an appe pan for no fry koftas - my personal version)
3. Shape the mixture into one inch round balls and deep fry till golden brown in colour
4. In another pan, heat the oil for the rice. Add the bayleaf and peanuts. When crisp and fried, add the the onion and fry till brown. Add all the remaining ingredients and toss well.
5. Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges, coriander
