  1. Fry all the chopped onion in the oil until nicely browned

  2. Add the spices and water and bring everything to a boil

  3. Turn off the heat, pour in the matzah meal and mix well. Leave the mixture to cool on the counter for about half an hour to an hour

  4. Separate the eggs. Mix the yolks into the mixture, whip the whites to stiff peaks and fold them in gently

  5. Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least an hour to an hour and a half

  6. Shape small balls and cook them in water with soup powder, or straight in the soup, until they float and then a few more minutes

Small tips that make a difference

  • The batch makes about 150 small balls. Halve or double it as needed.
  • Chilling is critical, don't skip it. It helps the mixture set and makes shaping easier, and it's worth returning it to the fridge between batches.
  • The balls puff up as they cook, so shape them fairly small.
