Mash the rice if it is too grainy. Do not over mash. Just enough to hold itself with all the ingredients when you form the cutlets.

Mix all the ingredients well with the rice except the oil/butter.

Now form into cutlet shapes. You can wet your palm with a few drops of water if the mixture is too sticky.

Heat some oil/butter & shallow fry the cutlets on low to medium heat/flame till they are golden brown on both sides & cooked through.

Can be served hot with ketchup or mayo-ketchup dip.
