Recipe Notes

  • Once you form the rissois, before deep frying them, refrigerate in freezer for an hour. They puff up well while deep frying them.
  • Rissois can be stored in refrigerator for 3 months or even more.I tried storing them for 3 months in freezer. Whenever you want to fry them, just get them out from freezer 20-30 mins before or you can even deep fry them when frozen.
  • You can use rava (fine semolina) in place of breadcrumbs or you could use equal quantities of rava and breadcrumbs together.
