Rice Paratha Recipe | Leftover Rice stuffed Flatbread | Spicy Leftover Rice Paratha

1. Firstly, take 1 cup leftover rice in a bowl. You can take plain or Jeera Rice for this recipe. Then add 1/2 finely chopped onion, 1 finely chopped green chili and 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh green coriander to it.

2. Next, add all the spices- 1/3 tsp carom seeds/ Ajwian, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp coriander powder, 1/4 tsp garam masala, salt to taste and finely crush 4-5 dry mint leaves over it. You can use 1/3 tsp mint powder also. Add salt according to your taste or it also depends on the salt in the leftover rice.

3. Mix all the ingredients well. Stuffing for Rice Paratha with leftover rice is ready.

4. Now, make a small lump from the kneaded dough and roll giving it a round shape.

5. Dust with some dry flour and roll out into round paratha. Place 2-3 tsp prepared rice stuffing over the rolled parantha.

6. Lift the rolled paratha from all the sides and close the stuffing. Gently press the dough ball to spread the stuffing evenly.

7. Now roll out it into a round parantha as shown in the picture. Keep the paratha a little thick to avoid it from getting ripped.

8. Heat a Tawa and spread ghee on it. Put the paratha to the Tawa/ griddle and roast it.

9. Drizzle some ghee/oil on the top side. When the second side is half cooked then flip again. Again apply some ghee/oil on the top side (or second side). I have used ghee (clarified butter) to roast the paratha.
