STEPS

• Boil the corn in hot water or microwave for 4 - 5 minutes.
• Boil potato, peel and mash it well
• Grate the cheese. I used cheddar cheese. You can use mozarella too.
• Finely chop ginger, green chillis and coriander.
• Run the boiled corn in a blender/mixer for just once or twice. Use the pulse option. Dont make a paste.
• Now combine all the ingredients with 2 tbsp of corn flour and salt and mix well.
• Dont add water.. the mixture will be a little sticky due to cheese.. Wet you hands and make equal golf size balls.

• Spread some corn flour in a plate and roll the balls in it so that they are coated well in the flour.

• Take 1 tbsp of maida and 1 tbsp of corn flour and add little water to make a batter (not too thick or thin). the batter should coat the balls.
• Dip the ball in the batter and then roll them in the bread crumbs one by one and keep aside.
• You can do till this step and keep in fridge for a day too.. and just before serving you can fry them in oil.

• Heat oil in a kadai and fry the balls in batches until golden brown. Drain them on a paper towel.

Serve with tomato sauce / chutney / mayo or anything of your choice.
