Corn Cheese Balls
Whenever i make corn cheese balls i will be reminded of my friend aparna :) She loves it, that the way she says it makes us wanna try it at least once !! This is a simple recipe and only takes a couple of minutes to put together. I include the spice I like the best, you can always adjust to your taste.
- Preparation time: 5mins
- Cooking time: 20 mins
- Serves: 8 - 10 Cheese Balls
INGREDIENTS:
For the filling
- Boiled Sweet Corn - 1 cups
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese- 3/4 cup
- shredded cheddar - 1/4 cup
- Italian spices blend - 1/2 tbsp
- Ground black pepper - 1 tsp
- Finely minced green chilli - 2 small
- white bread - 1 (corners sliced and cut into small pieces)
For making the ball
- Corn flour
- Bread crumbs
- Milk
- Oil for deep frying
DIRECTION:
It is one of the most simplest appetizer, first heat oil in the frying pan, add enough oil so that the cheese dumplings would immerse in well. I usually use a appe pan to fry.
- Meanwhile In a mixing bowl, add corn, cheese, minced chilli, spices, pepper and add all to make a loose dough.
- Make sure the water from boiled corn is strained completely.
- If you find it to be too watery to make a tough dough add little more all purpose flour. Make small balls out of the dough.
- In separate plates take corn flour, bread crumbs and milk
- Take the balls rotate them in corn flour and lightly coat them. then dip it quickly in milk and then a layer of breadcrumbs. Do this for all the balls and keep it ready before frying.
- Once the oil is hot fry till it turns into golden brown color.
Note:
- Don't let dough absorb milk.
- Also add enough cheese so that that the corns will be glued to each other.
- Double coating (corn flour and bread crumbs) is important. It will keep the melted cheese inside for us to enjoy.
Enjoy and happy cooking.
