How to make Crispy fried Pakodas /fitters with leftover rice?

Let me explain this to you in 3 simple steps! 

Step 1 is getting the batter ready. Take the leftover rice add all ingredients except oil and water. Mix well, now add water (little by little) and bring to a thick fitter/ Pakoda consistency. You will need to put little extra effort to mash the rice and make sure all the ingredients bind well.   

Step 2 is to heat enough oil in a pan and start dropping very small fitters of the batter into the oil. Small dumplings ensure they turn out crisp after they are fried. 

Step 3 take the fitters out of the oil and serve them hot with a dip of your choice.
