It is quite common to see leftover rice while doing a fridge raid. I almost stare at it for a few seconds thinking about how to get rid of it. Well, you can still do something when it is just a day old….do not entertain anything beyond that. I know of quite a lot of options where you can turn a day-old leftover rice into something new…..but now that’s too boring…you must have heard of lemon rice, fried rice, and rice that goes into idli batter.
I finally tried to invent my own recipe with the leftover rice sitting in my fridge. Instead of using my usual Indian spices, I felt like giving it a Mexican taste. I suggest that you can try giving some different flavors and experiment with them and share with me your own version of this dish.
