Cheese Corn Balls

I love corn and cheese, together they make a perfect combination. These are perfect for any party. You can make them well in advance and fry them just before serving. It comes out just perfect everytime, crispy from outside and melts in the mouth. I double coated the balls with maida and bread crumbs before frying. I make these in appe pan or shallow fry in a non stick pan. I have never tried deep frying these. Also, you need to handle the balls very gently while frying them. Lets check the recipe now.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp + 1/4 cup maida/all purpose flour
1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup sweet corn, boiled
1/2 tsp pepper powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tbsp coriander leaves, finely chopped
1 green chilly, finely chopped
1/4 cup grated cheese
salt as per taste
bread crumbs as needed for coating the balls

Method:

In a mixing bowl, mash the sweet corns nicely with your clean hands. Keep aside. Heat a pan, add butter and 1 tbsp of all purpose flour. Mix well. Start adding milk to it, stir nicely and insure no lumps are formed. The mixture will start to thicken. Switch off the flame, when the mixture turns very thick. Let it cool completely. Add mashed sweet corn, salt, pepper, oregano, cheese, coriander leaves and green chilly to the mixture. Mix properly and make balls out of it. Keep aside. Prepare a batter (Medium consistency) using 1/4 cup maida and water. Dip the balls in the batter and roll into the bread crumbs. Make sure the corn balls are properly coated with bread crumbs. Repeat the same process (dipping and coating the balls) again. Keep it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before frying. Deep fry the balls till they are golden brown in color or make this in appe pan. Serve immediately with ketchup or dips of ur choice.

Notes:

* Make sure there is no moisture in the corn while mashing. Squeeze nicely.

* The dough consistency needs to be right. If they are soft, than it will not retain its shape while frying.

* You can grind 1/2 cup sweet corn to a fine paste and remaining you can add as it is. I usually mash them together slightly with my hands.

* You can also use beaten eggs to coat the balls instead of maida mixture.
