Cheese balls

Ingrédients:

3 medium Potatoes, boiled (250 gms)
100 gms Mozzarella Cheese or Cheddar Cheese
3 tablespoons finely chopped Capsicum, optional
1/2 teaspoon Red Chilli Flakes
1/2 teaspoon Pizza Seasonings (or dried Italian herbs)
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
1/2 teaspoon grated Garlic(or paste), optional
2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs

For Coating
2 tablespoons Maida (all purpose flour)
2 tablespoons Cornstarch (cornflour)
1/4 cup Water (or as needed)
1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
Salt to taste

Direction:
1) Boil the potatoes until soft. Peel them and mash to a large bowl
2) Add 3 tablespoons finely chopped capsicum, 1/2 teaspoon red chilli flakes, 1/2 teaspoon pizza seasonings (or dried Italian herbs) and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder, 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic(or garlic paste), 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, and salt (add only if not added while boiling the potatoes).
3) Mix well. Check the mixture for salt and add more if required.
4) Take 2 tablespoons cornstarch (white corn flour) and 2 tablespoons maida (all purpose flour) in a small bowl. Add water(approx. 1/4 cup) little by little and mix well to make a medium thick paste.
5) Cut the cheese into 10 small cubes (approx. 1/2 inch thick and 1 inch wide). Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions. Take one portion and give it a shape like a ball.
6) Press it between your palms to flatten it. Place a small cube of cheese in the center.
7) Wrap it from all the sides and give a shape of a ball again. Make sure that the cheese cube is covered well from all the sides. Take 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs in a plate. Take each ball and roll it in breadcrumbs.
8) Take one ball and dip into cornflour-maida paste.
9) Remove the ball from the paste and roll it in bread crumbs.
10) Do the same process for all the balls.
11) Heat the oil in a frying pan for deep frying over medium flame. How to check the temperature of the oil – drop a small portion of potato mixture in the hot oil and if it comes upward without changing its color then it’s ready. When the oil is ready (medium hot), slide only one cheese ball into the oil and deep fry until it turns golden from all the sides. If it’s perfect then slide 4-5 cheese balls into the hot oil.
