Makes -12 nos

Once I had this corn cheese balls in a shop famous for snacks it was sooo delicious. One day I accidentally came across this recipe in net but i was not satisfied with the recipe it had so many things to be added.Later,after so many searches I found one and added my touch to it.These were so soft and melted in mouth.I feel that this is the best recipe to make corn cheese balls.

Ingredients:

• Sweet corn -1 cup
• Potato -1
• Cheese -1/2 -3/4 cup
• Corn flour -1 tsp
• Maida -2&1/4 tsp(+2 tsp for making paste)
• Green chilli -1
• Red chilli powder -1/4 tsp
• Pepper powder -1/2 tsp
• Garam masala -1/4 tsp
• Bread crumbs -1 cup
• Salt -To taste

Method:

• Boil sweet corn,drain them completely and grind them coarsely.(Just 3 pulses in your mixie).
• Boil potato and mash it.Grate cheese and keep ready.
• In a bowl mix all the above ingredients except bread crumbs.
• Make them small balls and refrigerate for 10 mins.
• Now shape them properly.
• Mix 2 tsp of  maida with little water(let the consistency be little thick).
• Dip the balls in maida and coat them with bread crumbs.
• If you would like to have it extra cheesy then stuff them first with cheese and then dip in maida paste and coat in bread crumbs,then fry.
• First drop one ball in oil and see how it works. If it is a success,then continue with others.
• The temperature of oil should not be very hot.Always fry in medium flame.
• Serve it with tomato sauce.

Notes:

• If oil is very hot, balls would disintegrate.
• I used half cup of grated cheese and half cup of mozarella cheese.
• You can also make it with full mozarella cheese.
• If you are stuffing then stuff it with mozarella cheese.
• Do not add more corn flour as balls may turn hard.
• You can avoid garam masala and add oregano.
• You can add fresh coriander leaves also.
• In case if your corn balls disintegrate in oil make it as cutlet on dosa tawa.
• The last pic shows how a stuffed version looks.
