TIPS
If you feel that your mixture is too wet then add more breadcrumbs to adjust the consistency.
We have used the soaked Stale roll here. you may use breadcrumbs as well. They will perform the same function.
You are free to up or down the amount of spices & salt as per your taste.
Make sure to cook the frikadellens on low heat. Otherwise, they are uncooked on the inside & burn on the exterior.

STORAGE INFORMATION:
FREEZER:
We don’t recommend keeping the cooked frikadellen in the freezer. But the freezer will be best for storing the seasoned frikadellens.
Give Frikadellen their shape and place them on a tray in a single layer.
Put the tray in the freezer.
Once frozen, seal pack them in a plastic bag and store them for up to 120 or 160 days.
Defrost and then fry them & serve them hot & fresh.
FRIDGE:
Pack the meatballs in a sealed vessel. Use the fridge to keep them safe for 2 or 3 days.
Reheat them on low flame while covered or warm them up in the microwave.
FAQs:
What should we do if we face the issue of breaking the meatballs while frying?
You don’t have to face this issue if you use a large egg & required amount of breadcrumbs. They both act as the glue in keeping the frikadellen away from breaking while frying.
