We form from it a ball the size of a walnut, roll it in flour and put it on a cutting board or a flat clean plate. In the same way we make other meatballs until the rice-meat mixture is over.

Now we put the same pan on a medium heat and pour 60 milliliters of vegetable oil into it, which is about 3–3.5 tablespoons, although more can be, it all depends on how fatty dishes you like.
