Notes: The rice has to be very soft and mushy. Do not use potatoes as this is Arancini patty. Do not use raw lachha parathas for this recipe. If using homemade parathas then half cook the homemade paratha before using it. Tips: You can store the battered and coated patties in a ziplock bag for about 1 week in the freezer.
