Cheese Balls

Maria North Indian, Snacks & Starters July 20, 2007

This can be used as a starter especially if your guests are veggies. I made this cheese balls to make malai kofta, but since it was so good as it is, i didn’t get a chance to make malai kofta, but i have no regrets :). Next time if i could resist the temptation and pass to the next stage of malai kofta, you can see its result :)

  1. Paneer (cottage cheese) - 200 gms
  2. Potato - 1 medium - big (boiled & mashed)
  3. Crushed pepper - 1 tablespoon
    Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
    Cornflour - 1-2 tablespoon
  4. Salt
  5. Oil - for frying

Mix all the ingredients (except oil) together. Take small amounts from it and make small balls. Deep fry in oil & serve hot with sauce of your choice.

If you tried this out, do let me know how it turned out.

    They do look great, can we add grated cheese along with the paneer.Do you think it will taste good?

    Thanks Sarika….

    hhmmm i havent added grated cheese, may be you can do one thing. Add grated cheese to a small portion and try out. It should be good, after all cheese right ;)

    Hi Maria,
    I am a recent visitor of your blog. :) and i find it very Glamorous.The colour combi and pictures look great.. I tried this cheese ball recipe last week,both me and my husband loved it. It does make a great starter hmmm.. but i feel that malai kofta might be even better (juicy koftas.. YUM!!) b’coz these cheese balls become oily while frying. Is there any way to avoid it?!! Oil or no oil we liked it anyway :)
    Great Job, Thanks u!!

    Thanks pretty woman for visiting my blog and also for your encouraging words. To reduce the oil of cheese balls, may be you can shallow fry it, instead of deep frying.
