About Fried balls

Fried Balls are a savory snack with versatile roots found in various global cuisines, including Dutch bitterballen, Italian arancini, and Indian kofta. Typically made by forming a mixture of ground meat, seafood, or plant-based proteins combined with seasonings, herbs, and sometimes vegetables, these balls are coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried to golden perfection. While their crispy exterior makes them a satisfying treat, Fried Balls are often high in calories and fats due to the frying process. However, they may provide a source of protein and occasional fiber depending on the filling. Variations that use lean meats, plant-based ingredients, or are baked instead of fried offer healthier alternatives. Fried Balls are frequently enjoyed as appetizers or party snacks and pair well with dips or sauces that add complementary flavors. Moderation is recommended to balance their indulgent nature with nutritional considerations.
