Dear Shoba!
About using excessive curd-Saji has given a good idea. But the curd must be fresh for making that recipe. It should not have a sour taste. You can make hung curd like that and store it in a box and keep it in the freezer. When you make potato and chicken fry varieties, you can add 2 tbsp of this hung curd when you fry the onions initially. This will give a delicious taste.
About using excessive cooked rice- you can prepare killu vadagam. You must coarsely grind this rice with a little green chillies, asafetida powder and enough salt. Then you must add chopped sambar onions, chopped coriander and curry leaves with 2 or 3 spoons of cumin seeds. Mix thoroughly using your fingers. Make small balls and dry them on the heat of hot sun. You can fry these vadakams in hot oil whenever you need them.

Dear Mrs. Mano,

I want to try your Ribbon pakkoda-I recipe. Can I use the readymade rice flour? 'coz, here in US, I can't get the rice flour as we do in India (soaking, drying and grinding the rice in the mill). Could u suggest me regarding this?

Also, I want to know to get a spicy ribbon pakoda, shall i increase just the chilli powder or do i need to add something else?

You have mentioned just rice flour. Is it raw rice or boiled rice?

Thanks!
