Chef's Notes
Leftover rice is the secret weapon here because its starches have already retrograded, meaning they lose moisture and firm up, providing the absolute best crunch when fried.
Pro Tip
Do not add water to the dough! The moisture from the shredded cabbage and the natural dampness of the rice are more than enough to bring the besan together.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If your oil is not hot enough, your pakoras will literally dissolve into a greasy, sad rice sludge the second they touch the pan, leaving you to question your life choices over a bowl of oily mush.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I see you've decided to save the world, or at least your leftover rice, from the landfill. How noble of you.
The Culinary Science
Gram flour, or besan, contains proteins that coagulate quickly under high heat, creating a rigid structural network that traps steam and yields an ultra-crispy outer crust.
