Round and round…

I made some meat balls the other day and these were the ingredients I used…

– some minced meat, one Bombay onion chopped till really fine, 6 cream crackers crushed (in place of bread crumbs) and an egg as the holding agent. I added a bit of salt and pepper and mixed everything together thoroughly.

After that, I rolled a bit of the mixture in my hand, round and round, to make the balls…

My missus would usually make them smaller but I like them big.

I heated the oil in a pan and fried them till golden brown…

…and yes, they were very nice. My girl loved the use of crushed crackers – she said that they were not as hard as the mum’s. The mum would use meat and onion only and sometimes, she may add prawns as well.

I did not make any sauce for the balls – no more IKEA sauce in the house and I did not feel like making the sweet and sour sauce either so we just dipped in tomato or chili sauce and ate them just like that. Seeing how my girl enjoyed them so much, I just ate a few and let her enjoy most of them.
