How to Make Brown Basmati Rice Pancakes

  1. Cook 1 cup of brown basmati rice according to package directions. Let cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 egg, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet (or other heavy-bottomed pan) over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil or butter to the hot pan.
  4. For each pancake, drop 1/4 cup of the rice mixture onto the hot pan. Flatten slightly with a spatula.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite yellow split pea soup. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
