Ingredients
Potatoes- it is that one vegetable that is very versatile and is enjoyed by all age groups.
Cheese- adding cheese to anything including potatoes just makes it better. it gives that perfect gooey center for this recipe I have used Amul cheese you can also use cheddar or mozzarella.
Slurry- we use slurry to create a layer to which the bread crumbs stick to achieve that crispy outer covering. I use 2 tbsp of cornflour in the slurry.
Bread crumbs- it gives that crispy covering to the cheese balls. the cheese balls when done they are first dipped in slurry and then rolled into the bread crumbs.
Other ingredients- to complete the dish we need a few more ingredients like oregano, chilli flakes, black pepper, salt, chilli, ginger garlic paste, and oil.
