The entire credit for this recipe goes to my BFF Nimeena’s mom, Sayda Aunty. Nimeena had mentioned about this cheese balls a couple of times before but I never asked her for the recipe for it until recently when she sent me a picture of it. I didn’t even know that it had noodles inside it. When she explained how it is made, I got very thrilled.
I made it and we all fell for this dish immediately. It was amazing. The flavors were inexplicably incredible. This happened before Ramadan. 🙂 Since this was Sayda Aunty’s recipe, I knew it that it has to be perfect. So I clicked the pictures of this during my first attempt itself. And now this one is a regular during our iftar.
I really do hope that you’ll try this simple and delicious recipe. 🙂
