Dal Chawal Arncini Balls

At times, rice and dal (  cooked lentils) are left over. With inflation, high costs of lentils, rice, one shouldn't waste food. Not the family may like to eat left-over dal. There are ways to use left-overs, some dal, sambar, rasam and veges, can be turned into a delicious mixed vege rice ! I've made it often, it used to get over so fast, at times, I may / may not even gt to taste it !

Now, this is another way of using left-over dal and rice. I've used left over rice along in a similar way , frying with cheese in between adding onion and green chilies. After 2 days or so, when daughter switched on a cooky show, she saw the same recipe made by the chef, she said " amma, your recipe is already copied !".
