What do you do with leftover rice specially if you have only once cup left which won’t be enough for anyone. I usually turn the leftover rice to some variety rice by adding carrots, peas etc or a simple curd rice. This time I decided to make some bonda with leftover rice and it was simply delicious and my family truly enjoyed it.
I have shared a recipe earlier to make vegetable bonda ( click here for recipe ). So, sharing an easy recipe to make some rice bonda and hope you all have a great day.
