In a large mixing bowl, mash the remaining cooked rice with your hands to break up any lumps.

Add gram flour, chopped onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt to the mashed rice.

Mix all the ingredients well to make a thick and sticky mixture. You can add a little water if required to bind the mixture together.
