How to Make Fried Dragon Fruit Balls

1. Scoop the Dragon Fruit Balls

   Cut a ripe dragon fruit in half and use a melon baller to scoop out small, uniform balls. Place the fruit balls on a plate and set them aside. Work gently to avoid squishing the delicate fruit.

   Tip: Chill the dragon fruit before scooping for firmer, easier-to-handle balls.

1. Prepare the Coating

   In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and desiccated coconut. Stir well until the mixture is evenly blended. This will be your coating for the fruit balls.

   Tip: You can add a pinch of sugar to the coating for extra sweetness if desired.

1. Coat the Dragon Fruit Balls

   Roll each dragon fruit ball in the rice flour and coconut mixture, pressing gently to make the coating stick evenly. Repeat the process until all the fruit balls are coated. Place the coated balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.

   Tip: Double coat the balls by repeating this step for a thicker, crunchier crust.

1. Heat the Oil

   Pour enough oil into a deep frying pan to submerge the fruit balls completely. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of the coating mixture - it should sizzle and turn golden in 30 seconds.

   Tip: Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain a consistent temperature for even frying.

1. Fry the Dragon Fruit Balls

   Carefully lower the coated dragon fruit balls into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature. Turn the balls occasionally to ensure even frying and cook until golden brown (about 1-2 minutes).

   Tip: Avoid frying too many at once, as this can lead to uneven cooking and soggy results.

1. Drain and Cool

   Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried balls from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

   Tip: Sprinkle a little extra desiccated coconut on the warm fritters for added texture and flavor.

1. Serve with Condensed Milk

   Arrange the fried dragon fruit balls on a serving plate and serve them with sweetened condensed milk for dipping. You can also use honey or a chocolate drizzle as an alternative.

   Tip: Serve immediately for the crispiest texture and best flavor.
