Ingredients
For the Arancini
-
1 cup Indian Curried Rice Pilaf
-
1 ½ cup Water
-
4 Eggs, divided
-
1 cup Feta
-
1 cup Flour
-
2 Tbsp Mango Masala Rub & Seasoning
-
2 Tbsp Milk
-
1 cup Bread Crumbs
-
¼ cup Curry Infused Olive Oil
For the Dipping Sauce
-
⅓ cup Sour Cream
-
⅓ cup Plain Yogurt
-
1 Tbsp Mango Masala Rub & Seasoning
-
2 tsp Ginger White Barrel Aged Balsamic
-
2 tsp Lime Zest
-
2 Tbsp Cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
Directions
Bring Indian Curry Rice Pilaf and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove rice from the heat, then let rest with the lid still on for 5 minutes more. Fluff with a fork. Let rice cool enough to handle.
Beat two eggs and add into cooled rice with the feta, stirring to combine.
Create a breading station by filling one dish with flour and 2 Tbsp Mango Masala Rub & Seasoning, then in another dish mix the milk and two remaining eggs until well combined, then fill a third dish with breadcrumbs.
Take 1 Tbsp of rice and roll into a ball. Dip in flour mixture, then milk mixture, then breadcrumbs. Continue to make balls and set aside until all the rice has been used up.
In a cast iron skillet, heat Curry Infused Olive Oil to medium. Add rice balls and fry all sides until golden brown, about 1-3 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel to drain.
In a small bowl create the dipping sauce by combining sour cream, yogurt, Mango Masala Rub & Seasoning, lime zest, cilantro and Ginger White Barrel Aged Balsamic.
Serve Arancini with dipping sauce and cilantro. Enjoy!
