Tips:
- Cheese: If you prefer a cheesier center, use a string cheese or a cheese with a good melting quality like mozzarella. You can also mix different types of cheese like cheddar or cream cheese for added flavor.
- Binding: If the mixture feels too soft, you can add more breadcrumbs or flour until it is easy to shape into balls. Alternatively, you can refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes to firm it up before shaping.
- Baking Option: If you prefer a healthier version, you can bake the rice balls. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of green chilies and chili powder according to your spice preference.
- Leftover Rice: This recipe is perfect for using up leftover rice. Cold rice holds together better and prevents the balls from becoming mushy.
