Slice the garlic into a water glass and pour 2 tablespoon boiling water over it.
Mash the garlic well, then add 2 tablespoon more boiling water. Strain through a kitchen towel, saving the liquid only.
Mix together all the ingredients, including garlic liquid then shape into balls about the size of a large egg.
Roll the balls in the flour until well coated.
Melt enough fat to make about ½ inch in a heavy skillet or cast iron cooking pot.
Brown the meat balls in the fat.
Remove the meatballs and pour off all but 4 tablespoon of the fat.
