One of the best breakfasts of a South Indian house hold is Pongal. It tastes best when eaten hot. But when it sits for few hours, pongal tends to become hard. This is one of the best ways to use up left over pongal.

Growing up my mom used the leftover pongal to make these cutlets as a after school snack.

Its a very simple recipe which takes hardly few minutes to make.

Also have you ever tried a dry version of a Pongal, its a great lunch box recipe.

    I once made patties with left-over risotto, which IMO, is Italian pongal.
