Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed

• 100 g mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes

• 2 tbsp cornflour

Method

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cornflour, finely chopped green chilli, Shalimar's Chef Spices Black Pepper Powder, and salt. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and holds together.

Take a small portion of the potato mixture and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center, then carefully seal the edges and roll it into a smooth ball, ensuring the cheese is completely enclosed.

Dip each potato ball into the beaten egg, then coat it evenly with the breadcrumbs.

Refrigerate the coated cheese balls for 15 minutes to help them firm up and prevent the cheese from leaking while frying.

Heat Shalimar's Soyabean Oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium heat. Fry the potato cheese balls in batches until they are golden brown, crisp, and evenly cooked.

Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Serve hot with tomato ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy the crispy exterior with the irresistible molten cheese center. Perfect for parties, teatime, or as a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
