"Fleischchuegeli, Meatballs, Patties, Buletten, and many more names, don't have to be made with bread as a combining ingredient. I know as a fact that the Iranians use potatoes. I had some leftover rice, so I used that! I got these wonderful meatballs, but you really have to season them very well, as the rice has no taste, and they will turn out very bland without a generous amount of chili powder. I baked them in the oven so they will be fat-less. But if you fry them in the pan, they get a lot crispier, so it's up to you!"
