Indonesian Rissole

Selamat siang,

Rissoles in Indonesia are often served as a snack and also as an appetizers. Indonesian rissole might looks different with rissoles here or other European countries. Indonesian rissoles it's not like patties round and flat but more like spring rolls, the only different is, these rissoles rolled in breadcrumbs.

Indonesian rissole filled with savory filling either meat or vegetables and I made mine with potato curry and the rissole wrappers similar to a crepe batter.
