Instructions

Peel and finely dice the onion. Add it to a pan along with a teaspoon of oil and sauté over medium-high heat with a pinch of salt until translucent.

Meanwhile, mix the oats, cheese, and spices in a bowl. Add the onions, egg, and milk, and mix well with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Spread a little oil in the pan, add a heaping tablespoon of the meatball mixture, and shape it into a meatball using the back of the spoon. Fry for two to three minutes until the underside is golden brown, then turn and fry for another two to three minutes over medium heat until crispy. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Moisture Magic 💦
Soak the rolled oats in milk for 10-15 minutes before mixing to create a more tender and cohesive patty texture.
Binding Brilliance 🥚
Grate the cheese finely and mix thoroughly to help bind the patties and prevent crumbling during cooking.
Flavor Layering 🧅
Caramelize the onions before adding them to the mixture to deepen the overall flavor profile of the patties.
Crisp Perfection 🍳
Use a cast-iron skillet and ensure the oil is hot before adding patties to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
Spice Optimization 🌶️
Toast the sweet paprika and turmeric in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the mixture to enhance their aromatic qualities.
