How to make Leftover Rice Paratha with step by step photos + video - This is one of the most popular and mostly often made rice paratha recipe usually made in Northern parts of India especially in Punjabi's family. It always surprised me how the simple ingredients makes a flavorful meal.
This is basically made from leftover cooked rice or with boiled rice also. Serve rice paratha with amul butter or white butter, curd, pickle and chutney for a simple yet tasty breakfast.
This is one of our favorite breakfast at my home, whenever we prepare rice at my home, one night before..this is for sure next day this is our morning breakfast.
I used to make leftover veggie paratha most of the times in our breakfast menu, like aloo-gobi-matar mixed with spices and used as a stuffing,,mmm yummy still my mouthwatering!!
In a Punjabi house like mine, stuffed paratha topped up with homemade butter or amul butter (my personal preference) is a regular Indian breakfast recipe. Paneer paratha, Mooli Paratha, Gobi paratha or aloo paratha is among my top choices for menus on weekends.
What is Rice Paratha?
A delicious stuffed crispy flatbread of leftover rice mixed with spices, served with butter, curd and pickle is heaven on plate. This paratha works great whenever you have some leftover rice, such as jeera rice, simple boiled rice or any cooked rice.
Fresh rice don't gave good texture and crispness to the paratha. Desi ghee/Clarified butter can be used for frying the paratha. You may also use oil or butter also.
I usually make the dough and the stuffing for the parathas beforehand so that I can quickly serve them on the table at the time of the breakfast.
