- Mix it nicely to form a smooth dough-like mixture.
Shape the balls
- Grease hands with oil. Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it into balls. Make sure there are no cracks; otherwise, it will absorb excess oil and lose its shape.
Coat the balls
- Mix corn flour and water to make a slurry in one bowl, and add bread crumbs in another bowl.
- Dip each ball in the slurry and then coat it in bread crumbs. This will bake your cheese balls crispy. At this point, you can keep the balls in the freezer and use them as and when required.
Frying corn cheese balls
- Heat oil in a pan or wok on medium flame. Drop 5 to 6 balls based on the size of the pan and fry on medium flame until crisp and golden brown.
- Serve hot with ketchup, mustard sauce or mayonnaise of your choice. You can pair it with chai, hot drinks, or any cocktails or mocktails.
