HOW TO Make VEGGIE BALLS

With this recipe, we needed potatoes, carrots, spring onions, onions, garlic, paprika, cornstarch, deep frying oil, salt and pepper to taste. You may also add some chillies, capsicum, beans and peas or any of your favourite vegetables. Then, we need to peel off the skin of the potatoes, cut it into cubes and soak it in a bowl of water. This will help you change the color of your potatoes. Boil the water in a saucepan with 1 teaspoon of salt when soaking. Water is expected to be enough to cover the potatoes. Add the potatoes once the water has boiled. Do not include the water used for soaking potatoes.

Cook the potatoes until soft and tender. To find out if the potatoes are done, stick a fork on your potatoes. When soft and tender, remove or drain the water and place the potatoes in a plate or bowl. Mash the potatoes with a fork or with a pastry blender. Mash it well. Add the grated carrots, the chopped spring onions, the minced onions, the garlic, the salt and pepper and paprika. You may exclude praprika. Mix well the ingredients together. Add the cornstarch and mix well. Using your hands or with a hand gloves to make a ball. Sizes are going to be depending on you.

After the ball is shaped, freeze the balls for at least 15 minutes. In this process, the ball will help keep its shape when it’s frying. In a deep frying pan, heat oil. The amount of oil is just enough for deep frying then deep fry the veggie balls . Make sure not to overcrowd your pan as it can alter and lower the temperature of your oil, which may result in uneven cooking, and your balls may absorb more oil and become more oily.

Fry the balls for at least 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. The balls will float on top of the oil once it’s cooked. When cooked, remove the balls from the oil and put them in a piece of paper towel to help absorb the excess oil. Let it warm for a while and serve the veggie balls with a sweet and sour sauce or a mayo ketchup sauce or just a tomato ketchup or any sauce you’d like to dip in. Enjoy it!
