SUJI MEAT BALLS RECIPE. AUTHENTIC MEAT BALLS RECIPE WITH POTATOES AND SUJI

SUJI MEAT BALLS RECIPE.  AUTHENTIC SUJI POTATO MEAT BALLS RECIPE
Ingredients: makes 24 pieces
1 cup mashed potatoes-  about 4 pieces medium sized potatoes (skinned and cut into 4)
200 grams minced meat
 5 tbsp suji flour
Suji flour to roll in the meat balls
6 tbsp wheat flour
1 medium size onion- minced- can get about ½ cup
1 teaspoon instant yeast
4 tbsp corn flour
4 tbsp minced coriander leaves
4 pieces bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Some raw vegetables of your choice- may be tomatoes or grated cabbage
Boil potatoes with 2 pieces bay leaves until soften. Scoop out the potatoes and then mash them up. Set aside.

Boil minced meat in some water. Add in salt, pepper and 2 pieces bay leaves. The water level should be just enough to cover the meat, do not put too much. Once the water almost dries up,  add in onions. Continue stirring for about 5 minutes, to wilt the onions and make it more flavorful and the meat slightly oily due to it's own fat. Let the meat keep its moisture and not get dried up.Turn off fire and leave to cool.

Use a small bowl, stir in mashed potatoes, minced meat, yeast, suji, wheat and corn flour  until well mixed.
And in coriander (and cut chili if you like). If the dough is soft, add a bit more wheat flour.
This is a thick dough, somewhat almost like a cookie dough, but after frying, the inside is soft..
Shape into balls. Ensure it is firmly rolled / shaped, so that they don’t break up when frying. Set aside for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, spread some suji flour on a tray. Roll in the meat balls in the suji flour until all are fully covered with suji flour.

Heat up oil in a frying pan. Fry suji meat balls until brown. Don’t put too many/ too close together or cluttered, because the meat balls will expand a bit while frying. When browned, turn to the other side. Do this like twice for each side. The suji coating will be of a much lighter color, it will not brown much, as compared to the dough mixture
This suji coat gives a pretty texture to the meat balls and also makes the outer part uniquely crunchy.

While waiting for the meat balls to brown, arrange the raw veggies on a serving plate. You may want a dip for the veggies and meatballs. To prepare a simple dip, use tomato sauce and  mix it with some black pepper sauce.

  31. Hi, International Golden Orange Film Festival is not just for women. We, the people of the Republic of Turkey feel proud of our glorious history. We say that Turkish women are granted the right to vote since 1934. In addition to this, in 1926, the new Turkish civil code passed. Under the new code, women gained equality with men in such matters as inheritance and divorce. Moreover, in 1935, 18 women deputies had chairs in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. As a percentage, they accounted for 4.5% of all the seats in the Assembly, one of the highest proportions in the world at that time. ome politicians may emphasize the women`s statutes in the society as a measurement of civilization and democracy or people may think that women are very important for us, because, they are mothers and they bring their children’s up and if the mother are educated and cultured, their children may be educated and cultured, so the society become educated and cultured in their speeches. However, these speeches state sometimes liberal, elitist, and sometimes fascist ideologies on the women. This means that women became a subject or tool for these ideologies. However,The real women movements started after the military coup of 1980. When we look at the improvements on women rights in Turkey in 2000s, we can see that it is for Accession of Turkey to the European Union which is the policy of Turkey. So, women are still used for some policies by the politicians. If people want to know what the statutes, struggles, gains of women are, they should look at the after 1980s.

  32. Hi, I must say seeing your these well displayed pics of your very creative culinary skills, a necktie should be worn if and when invited for dinner to your home. Very classy.
    And I have never seen these suji meatballs before. They sure look good!
    Might make people forget their manners and ask for more, ha ha.

    Looking at your pics here, it must have required dexterity, delicacy, finesse, coordination and patience on your part, and that certain ingredient called, you used 'love'.

    There is nothing more appealing on this Earth than that of a beautiful wife or mother in the act of cooking for her loved ones.
    And if not married, very dangerous to bachelors.....
    eating your not to mention very delicious dishes, but very innovative cooking, he'll certainly give up his Bachelor's degree, marry the cook, ha ha ha.

    You have a nice day, and keep a song in your heart.
    Lee.

  35. New follower who headed over after seeing your name on Ann from Cooking Healthy for Me's site. This is such an interesting and tasty dish. I'll have to try and find that suji flour here. I find it so hard to find some things where I live. It seems to be a bit of a culinary black hole. Hope you have a wonderful day. Glad I stopped by.
