Cheese Balls

-

Ingredients:- 3 person

  • 300 grams potatoes or 3 small or 2 medium or 1 large potato
  • 180 grams cheese or ½ cup grated cheese tightly packed
  • 0.75 teaspoon black pepper crushed or ⅓ teaspoon black pepper powder - add as required
  • 3 pinch garam masala - optional
  • 4.5 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves or parsley leaves
  • 10.5 to 12 tablespoon besan (gram flour) or 2 to 3 tablespoon arrow root flour or corn starch or all purpose flour
  • 6 to 9 pinches black salt or regular salt or rock salt
  • oil for deep frying, as required. 
How To Make Cheese Balls-
1. Boil 3 small potatoes (100 grams) in a steamer or pressure cooker or an electric cooker. You can even steam the potatoes in an Instant Pot for 7 to 8 minutes. Boil the potatoes until they are completely cooked. Then drain them well.
2. When the potatoes become warm, peel them and mash very well in a mixing bowl. There should be no moisture while peeling, chopping and mashing the potatoes. Allow the potatoes to come at room temperature before you add the remaining ingredients.
3. Grate 60 grams cheese and set aside. 60 grams equals about ½ cup tightly packed grated cheese. You can use either cheddar cheese or processed cheese. If using amul processed cheese cubes, then use 3 cubes.

Making Cheese Ball Mixture

4. To the mashed potatoes, add ¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper or ⅓ teaspoon black pepper powder, a pinch of garam masala (optional) and 1.5 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) or parsley leaves.
5. Add 3.5 to 4 tablespoons gram flour (besan) or chickpea flour. I highly recommend using gram flour or chickpea flour, however if you do not have it you can also add 3 to 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour or corn starch or arrowroot flour.
6. Mix very well.
7. Then add the grated cheese and two pinches of black salt. Add salt accordingly as cheese already has salt in it. You can add rock salt or regular salt instead of black salt.
8. Mix the cheese with the rest of the potato mixture very well. Check the taste and add more salt or crushed black pepper if required.

Making Cheese Balls

9. Make small balls from the mixture and make one tiny ball to test while frying.
10. Heat oil for deep frying in a kadai (wok) or pan.
11. When the oil becomes hot, add the tiny cheese ball. The temperature of oil can be from 177 to 190 degrees Celsius (351 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit). The oil has to be hot, otherwise, the cheese balls may break.
12. In a minute, the tiny cheese ball will begin to get golden. If the tiny cheese ball does not break, then you can begin to fry the other balls. If it breaks, then you have to add 1 to 2 tbsp chickpea flour or gram flour (besan) to the mixture again. Keep the same temperature while frying by increasing or decreasing the flame.
13. Add the remaining balls taking care of the volume and space of the pan or kadai. Do not overcrowd. Since I used a small kadai, I added four cheese balls at a time.
14. With a slotted spoon, turn balls over when they become golden.
15. Fry them turning a couple of times, until they are evenly golden all over and crisp.
16. Remove and place them on kitchen paper towels.
Serve Cheese Balls hot with tomato ketchup or mint coriander chutney or mint chutney.
   ENJOY..... 😀😀😀
