Step 5

Step 5
With slightly damp hands, form the cheese mixture into smooth round balls the size of a walnut. Now roll the cheese balls thoroughly on all sides in breadcrumbs. To make them beautiful, and for the breading to adhere tightly to the cheese, take crackers that are coarser, richly yellow and with spices. If you have regular whitish crackers, add paprika, turmeric, salt and pepper to taste for color.

Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to crackle. To check how hot the oil is, you can dip a wooden skewer into it. Small bubbles will appear around it. There should be enough oil to completely cover the balls. Fry the cheese balls in boiling oil until golden brown. The finished balls will float to the surface.
