Kroketten (singular: Kroket) are the Dutch version of the ubiquitous French croquette, basically a potato/meat filled, deep-fried roll, though the Dutch tend to focus more on the meat and less of the potato version.
From wikipedia:
A Bitterbal (pl: Bitterballen) is exactly the same thing, only it's formed into a ball shape instead of a cylinder I have to say they are one of my favorite snack foods at parties. They are also a favorite snack food for Dutch people in general, with vending carts and snack shops selling them just about everywhere. According to wikipedia over 350 million kroketten were eaten in Holland in 2008, and a typical Dutchman will eat 29 kroketten per year, so a little more than 1 every 2 weeks. Because they are easier to make I usually make Bitterballen, though this recipe could be used for either, since the only real difference is the shape. Bitterballen

Pitrow,
Lovely recipe and I truly like the Curry & Nutmeg aromatic profile employed. Another interesting treatment is the Corn Flakes; which prevent the oil from frying to seap into the interiors, as corn flakes are not porous. Chef Paco Roncero, who was a disciple of Ferrán Adriá prepares his croquettes with corn flakes verses bread crumbs and all purpose flour. Thanks so much for posting, and they are on the List, as they look like alot of fun. Margi.

I believe the Maggi Product Line can be purchased from www.latienda.com or www.foodsfromspain.com as it is a common Multi National in Spain & readily available here ( to the best of my knowledge).
*** MAGGI AND NESQUIK are produced by the same Multi-National. Kindest. Margi.

I was reading through a Dutch recipe site this morning and came across a description for bitterballen that I've never seen before, but actually describes them very well. They were describing them as "deep fried gravy". Well that's pretty dead-on I'd say.
