3. Form the Rolls:
Take small handfuls of the mixture and shape them into rolls. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. Fry the Rolls:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the rolls for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
For the Dip

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped cucumber, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
