That is not how you make köttbullar.
Then how do you make it, grafstroem? Any recipes or links to suggest?
For the finicky Swedish, check out this web page for a recipe for köttbullar. Apparently, there are many recipes, no two exactly the same.

There are as many recipies as there are mothers in sweden, the one above is as god as anyone else. Just remember to fry slowly and gently shake the pan to keep them round.
I bought the recipe book, and im going to cook them tonight
The unit symbol for grams is "g" not "gm".
hummm ... so good :-)
@Units Lover:
Spoken like an American who is blissfully unaware that other cultures and measuring systems/abbreviations exist outside the U.S. The liquid measurements in "ml" should have been your first clue.
@Mike:
Spoken like an intolerant idiot who assumes anyone who doesn't share his viewpoint is a "blissfully unaware American", even though the original commenter made no clue to his nationality.
And the SI (you know... international) standard for "gramme" is "g" and "millilitre" is "ml". I guess that makes me an American, no matter where I live, right?
My family quite often bakes meatballs in the oven, if we have to make a lot. They brown evenly that way, and there's no problem with them sticking to the bottom of the pan or over-browning.
Yummy its look delicious.
These swedish meatball recipe sounds great and looks even better. I am going to make them on my next party. It will be a crowd pleaser.
wait, is the swedish meatballs at ikea kota damansara is also made of pork?
