Farsan (Rice fritters)
Rice!!! We’ve made pulav, kheer and parantha using rice. Lets try something different. Lets make farsan, that too using rice! See, how innovative are we trying to become with food…and not only that, if you all are trying stuff with us every weekend, then let me tell you that this is also a yummy treat and a good snack. So, what are you waiting for? Lets begin.
For this you’ll require ¾ cup cooked rice. That is, if you already have it cooked! But that is not a big set back for all you experts. Isn't it? Don’t worry. Set the cooking table with 1 small onion (finely chopped), ½ tomato (finely chopped), ¼ capsicum (finley chopped), 30 gm paneer (crumbled) and 3 bread slices roasted and ground to make bread crumbs.
Now for the masala - take 2 tbsp besan ka atta, ½ tsp garam masala, 1 tsp cumin (Jeera) powder, ½ tsp haldi powder, ¾ tsp custard sugar, ½ tsp lemon juice and salt to taste. And you may wish to some corriander as well to it.
Mix all this nicely so that the atta is mixed well. Make balls of the mixture, roll it in bread crumbs and deep fry it. You can also try shallow frying on a low flame. Now have this delicacy with sauce or chutney as per your taste. Enjoying???? Then don’t forget to send us your feedback.

Did You Know ?
Farsan - This variety of besan snacks arises perhaps from Gujarat's dry, arid climate which emphasized staples over fresh fruits and vegetables.
Besan or Gram flour is a flour made of chana dal (chickpea).
Indian women regularly make homemade face packs using besan as a face scrub and toner, mixed with milk and cream and drops of rose water or simply with water.
In rural Maharashtra, water and a piece of jaggery is given when someone arrives home from working under a hot sun. Kakvi, a byproduct from production of jaggery, is also used in rural Maharashtra as a sweetener. It contains lot of minerals and is very healthy according to Ayurveda.
In Myanmar jaggery is considered a sweet and is eaten by children and adults alike, usually in the afternoon along with a pot of green tea. It has been referred to locally as Burmese chocolate.
