This Leftover rice cheese balls are one of the best way to use the leftover rice. Actual recipe was made with leftover pasta (white sauce/ Béchamel sauce pasta) around 4 cups, I love to add frozen sweet corn in my white pasta. I refrigerate leftover pasta, next day the pasta become quite thick,I mashed it well then added breadcrumbs and deep fried it, it turned out really yum. Then few days later I tried it with leftover rice , cheese and corn. It taste as yummier as pasta one.
Let’s see the procedure,
