Cheese-Aloo Balls



INGREDIENTS:
  1. Grated Cheese - 3/4 cup
  2. Potatoes cooked and mashed - 1 cup 
  3. Onions - 1 or 2 finely cut.
  4. Rava and maida - 2 teaspoons each
  5. Bread crumbs - 2 teaspoons
  6. Salt,chilli powder , garam masala powder - according to taste
  7. Coriander leaves,green chillies,curry leaves - finely cut 
METHOD:
  • Wash and pressure cook the potatoes with salt.Mash them well.
  •  Take a frying pan, add two teaspoons of cooking oil and sputter few mustard seeds. 
  • Add the cut chillies,curry leaves and coriander leaves.Add the finely cut onions and add the salt needed for onions.
  • After the onions turn golden brown add the mashed potatoes. Add chilli powder and garam masala powder and mix well.Once the mixture is well mixed remove from flame.
  • Take an amla sized potato ball  and flatten it with your palms.Take  1/2 spoon of grated cheese and place it in the center of the flattened potato and close it so that the potatoes covers the cheese and forms a proper lemon sized ball for frying.
  • Mix the maida,bread crumbs(crush a rusk if you do not get bread crumbs) and rava in a clean bowl.Add a pinch of salt for taste. Do not any water . This is a dry mixture that forms the outer covering.
  • Roll the cheese stuffed potato ball in this mixture and deep fry using normal pan and cooking oil or using a kuzhipaniyaram pan if u have one.I used my kuzhipaniyaram pan as it consumes less oil and it is quicker.
