New Delhi: The festival of Diwali is a symbol of happiness and light and gives a chance to celebrate with family and friends. Along with sweets, various types of snacks are also prepared on this occasion. If you want to present something new and delicious to your guests this Diwali, then Cheese Corn Balls can be a great option. These balls are a hit with people of all ages with their crunchy exterior and cheesy interior. The special thing is that they can be made from ingredients easily available at home.
Ingredients for Cheese Corn Balls
To make these delicious Cheese Corn Balls, you need: 1 cup boiled corn, 2 medium sized boiled and mashed potatoes, half cup mozzarella or processed cheese, 2 finely chopped green chillies, 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and bread crumbs as required. Additionally, to enhance the taste, add half teaspoon black pepper powder, half teaspoon chili flakes or red chili powder, finely chopped coriander and salt as per taste. Also take oil to fry the corn balls to make them golden and crisp.
How to make Cheese Corn Balls Mixture
Lightly crush the boiled corn in a large bowl. Then add boiled and mashed potatoes into it. After this add green chilli, ginger-garlic paste, black pepper powder, chilli flakes, green coriander and salt. Finally add grated cheese and mix all the ingredients well. Knead the mixture until it is ready to form balls.
prepare flour mixture
Take flour in a small bowl and add little water to it to make a thin and smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps in the solution. This batter will help coat the corn balls with bread crumbs.
Shape Corn Balls
Now take small portions of the prepared mixture and make round balls. If you want to make the balls more filled with cheese, place a small piece of cheese in the middle of each ball and seal it tightly. This will further enhance the taste of the cheese inside the balls after frying.
Use bread crumbs for a crispy crust
First dip the prepared balls in flour solution and then wrap them well in bread crumbs. Keep in mind that the layer of bread crumbs should be evenly coated on all sides of the balls. Prepare all the corn balls in the same manner.
Fry Corn Balls
Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is well heated, slowly add the prepared corn balls. Fry them on medium flame until they become golden brown and crisp. Frying on high flame can cause the balls to burn quickly from outside, while the inside will not be able to heat properly.
Enjoy Warm Cheese Corn Balls
When the corn balls are fried well, take them out on tissue paper to remove excess oil. Now serve them with hot tomato sauce, green chutney or dip of your choice.
