How to Use Leftover Rice(Masala Bhat)

Hello Foodies,

Looking for some easy leftover rice recipes? Here is an amazing way to use up leftover rice. So before you throw out the excess, take a look at this recipe. This masala rice is a simple dish made from leftover rice. I made this super random Masala Rice for breakfast using up my leftover rice from dinner the night before! So I transform this rice into hearty veggie masala rice by adding a few other ingredients.

Hearty veggies and rice are great for a substantial, protein packed-breakfast. Since the rice is already cooked, you can have this on the table in 10 minutes flat. Or you can serve them for lunch, snacks, or dinner. This is a fantastic dish for vegetarians, which is packed with flavor and healthy veggies. It might look simple, but this recipe for leftover rice is addictive too. After all, there’s no better time than right now to make use of leftovers & reduce food waste.
