Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. Take out from the refrigerator. Dip the balls in milk and then in bread crumbs, so that they are coated with crumbs. Refrigerate again for 10-15 minutes. Heat oil in pan. Take the balls out of the refrigerator and let them sit on the counter for at least 2-3 minutes before frying.
