Notes

  • Read the recipe to learn to make this snack in a few different ways. 
  • If your khichdi is not mushy, sprinkle some water and it will make the rice mushy, and everything should come together.
  • You can double the recipe according to your requirement. 
  • This recipe is a great after-school snack.
  • If you are specially making khichdi to make these bites, use the khichdi after it completely cools down. 
  • You can refrigerate these patties for up to 2 days. Heat them up on a pan or air fry them at 350 F for 2-3 minutes.
  • To Freeze these, Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper, lay the khichdi bites, and freeze them for 2 hours. Then once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer safe container or ziplock and freeze them for upto 3 months.
