Corn Cheese Balls

This Corn Cheese Balls is a great starter for parties or family get together or you can simply enjoy them as an evening snack. They are crispy on the outside with soft melting cheese inside. There is no wonder that all kids love this. The main plus of this recipe is that you can make ahead these balls and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use... Ok, now on to the recipe.....

INGREDIENTS:
Corn - 1/2 cup
Grated Cheese - 3/4 cup
Potato - 1 (boiled)
Coriander Leaves - 2 tbsp
Pepper - 1/2 tsp
Oregano - 3/4 tsp
Garlic paste - 1/4 tsp
Chilli flakes - 1 tsp
Chilli powder - 1/4 tsp
Salt - to taste
Corn flour - 1 to 2 tbsp
Oil - for frying
For the Coating:
All purpose flour - 2 tbsp + 1 and 1/2 tbsp
Corn Flour - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Water - 1/4 cup ( or as required )
Bread Crumbs - 1/4 cup
METHOD
1) Mix together the boiled potato, corn and grated cheese along with coriander leaves, pepper, oregano ( crush the oregano in your hands before adding for better flavour ), garlic paste, chilli flakes, chilli powder and salt.

2) Add Cornflour for binding all the ingredients together ( I added 1 tbsp as it was enough for me. Add according to the wetness of your mixture ) Form as even sized balls.
3) Make a thin batter with 2 tbsp all purpose flour, 2 tbsp corn flour, a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup water. In a separate bowl take 1 and 1/2 tbsp all purpose flour. In another bowl take the 1/4 cup bread crumbs. Keep all the coating ready along with the balls.
4) First roll the balls in plain all purpose flour. Shake off the excess and dip in the prepared batter. Finally coat in the bread crumbs.
5) Repeat the step 4 for all the balls. At this stage you can refrigerte your balls until ready to use. Say like, you can prepare the balls in the morning and refrigerate until your evening party. Deep fry them in batches in low medium flame until they are browned. Drain in a tissue paper.

These Corn Cheese Balls are best when served hot. So enjoy them with tomato ketchup.....

NOTES:
1) You can even add capsicum as a variation to these balls
2) For the garlic paste, I just crushed 3 garlic cloves in mortar and pestle ( That's it instant garlic paste :) )
3) Make sure you coat your balls well or else the cheese may ooze out while frying.
