CHEESE BALLS RECIPE, HOW TO MAKE CHEESE BALLS

Steps:

• Boil potatoes with the skin on till fork tender and not mushy.
• Remove the skin and mash them well until smooth with a masher. There should be no lumps.
• Add garlic, herbs, coriander leaves, salt (very little), chili flakes, pepper and bread crumbs.
• Mix them well and form a ball. The mixture must bind together and should not be sticky or too dry.
• Divide the mixture to 8 to 10 equal sized balls. Cover and keep aside.
• Cut the cheese to ½ inch cubes. Mix together herbs, chili flakes, pepper and spice powder. Toss the cheese in this mix. Set aside.
• Take a potato ball and spread it evenly to a small patty in your palm. Place a cheese cube in the center. (Check step-by-step pictures)
• Gently bring the edges together to make a ball. Ensure the ball is sealed well without any cracks.
• Add 2 tbsps corn flour to another wide plate. Spread it.
• Roll the finished ball in corn flour. The same way make all the cheese balls.
• If you do not prefer to coat them in bread crumbs, you can pan fry these straight away.
• Transfer ½ cup bread crumbs to a separate plate. Set this aside.
• Make slurry: Add 2 tbsps corn flour to another bowl and mix with 3 to 4 tbsps water. Make a thin mixture. Alternately you can also use a beaten egg.
• Gently drop each ball in the corn flour mixture or egg and make it moist.
• Immediately roll it in bread crumbs. Set this aside in a plate. Finish making all the balls.
• Double bread the cheese balls - Repeat the same steps of dipping in flour mixture and then coating the bread crumbs again.
• Set aside in a plate. Rest them for 10 mins.
• To a wide deep pan pour oil just enough to half immerse the cheese balls. Heat the oil on a medium flame.
• Drop a small piece of the potato mixture to check if the oil is hot enough. It has to come up immediately without browning. This is the right temperature.
• Regulate the flame to medium. Gently slide the balls one by one & do not disturb them for 1 to 2 mins.
• Gently stir them and fry until golden and crisp.
• Serve potato cheese balls hot with any dip or sauce.
• To bake - Preheat the oven at 200 C ( or 390 F). Grease a wired rack and place it on a tray.
• Place the cheese balls over the rack and bake them for 15 mins. Adjust the timings as needed.
• You can pan fry them in 2 batches using 2 to 3 tbsps oil per batch.
• Some amount of bread crumbs will come off the balls and it is just okay. They will still be good.
