Notes
- A vegetable peeler is best for peeling the patola. It peels the tough, green skin without shaving off a lot of the flesh.
- Use a small scoop or a measuring tablespoon for even and uniform meatballs.
- If you prefer not to fry the meatballs first, you can cook them by dropping them directly into the boiling broth until fully cooked.
