Notes:
1. I used milk bread for this. You can use any bread, but try to use unsalted one.
2. Roll the balls smoothly and not too tight. Because, while frying, the inner part might not cook properly, if you roll them tightly.
3. Keep the flame in low, while frying the balls for even cooking and keep rolling the balls.
4. Adding milk powder and cooking soda are purely optional.
