Qady Qooda (Meatballs in Batter)
Source: Saudi Arabia Magazine (an official publication of the Information Office of the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia), Winter 1997
3/4 pound ground meat
2 eggs
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon baking powder
4 tablespoon rice
1 teaspoon yeast
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Salt
1 cup flour
Oil (for frying)
Mix the meat, garlic, rice, black pepper and salt in a bowl. Shape into balls half the size of an egg; put in a pan with a little water and cook over medium heat until ready.
Mix the flour with the baking powder, yeast, eggs and a little water to form a dough-like batter. Set aside to rise for at least two hours. (Alternative: use pancake mix to make the batter.)
Coat the balls in batter; fry in very hot oil and serve hot.
Serves 3 to 4.
