Many vendors sell these here, but of course it is healthier to make them on your own. Bear in mind that they will shrink a bit after frying, so they won't be completely round. Still tasty. We enjoy these with homemade mayo and a touch of chili sauce.

You can make bigger or smaller meatballs. I made medium ones, about 1.5 cm in diameter. They will get bigger after you fry them.

Cooking Instructions

30 minutes
  1. 1

    Combine all ingredients except oil.

  2. 2

    Knead by hand until it is quite firm but pliable.

  3. 3

    Pour a bit of oil to your hands and form balls from the mixture.

  4. 4

    Pour oil into the pan. You are going to deep fry them. Use medium heat. When the oil is hot and a bit bubbly at the edges, use the lowest setting and start putting the balls to the pan.

  5. 5

    After a while, the balls will flip on their own once they start to expand.

  6. 6

    Once the bottom part becomes golden brown, flip them over carefully.

  7. 7

    When they are golden brown, take them from the pan. It takes about 15 minutes and I fry in two batches.

  8. 8

    I prefer to put them into skewers, but you can eat the meatballs with a fork or with your hand.
