  • You can use rice you already have on hand or cook it fresh for this recipe; short-grain rice works best for these cutlets. For a lighter version, you can skip frying the vegetables and spices and mix them into the "batter" raw — but frying brings out more of their aroma. This same recipe works for steamed or oven-baked cutlets as well. 1. Put the rice in a bowl and cover with cold water. Swish it around and drain; rinse a couple of times until the water runs clear. 2. Put the rinsed rice in a saucepan, add clean water, and salt lightly. You'll need 150 ml of water per 100 grams of rice. 3. Set the pan over the heat and cook the rice until fully done, then let it cool. 4. Blend the sprouted mung beans and cooked rice together in a blender. 5. Peel the carrots and rinse them under running water, then grate them. 6. Peel the onion and garlic. Grate the onion on a fine grater and push the garlic through a press — or chop both in a blender. 7. Pour the vegetable oil into a skillet and set it over the heat. Add the spices to the hot oil: cumin, ground coriander, and dried dill. Fry the spices for 1–2 minutes. 8. Add the onion-garlic paste to the fragrant spices. Fry, stirring constantly so nothing burns. 9. Now add the carrots and fry for another 3–4 minutes. 10. Stir the fried mixture into the mung bean and rice blend. Salt to taste and mix thoroughly. 11. With wet hands, shape small cutlets and fry them in vegetable oil until done; a small, heavy-bottomed pan works best. Serve the cutlets with fresh herbs and vegetables, plus any side dish you like. Enjoy!
