Method:
To make the mixture for corn cheeseballs, add the grated processed cheese, potato, make sure you smash the potatoes well while adding them into the bowl, along with the remaining ingredients of the mixture & combine it well using your hands.
Once all the ingredients have combined take a spoonful of the mixture & form it into a roundel & similarly, form roundels of the remaining mixture.
To make the slurry for coating, add refined flour, corn flour & salt in a separate bowl & make a semi-thick slurry by adding water gradually & whisking it continuously.
In a separate bowl add panko breadcrumbs as required, you can also use normal breadcrumbs, & season it with salt & black pepper & mix it well.
Now to coat the corn cheeseballs, dip the roundel in the slurry first & coat it well.
Further lift it with a fork so that all the excess slurry drips off & then place it in the breadcrumbs, coat it well with the breadcrumbs.
Double coat by dipping it in slurry & coating it with breadcrumbs again, double coat all the corn cheeseballs in the same way.
To fry these, heat oil in a deep sauce pan or a kahdaai until it gets moderately hot or reaches 175 C.
Drop the corn cheeseballs carefully in hot oil & fry them without stirring for the first 30 seconds then continue to fry them while stirring them gently over medium high flame until crisp & light golden brown.
Strain them out using a large spider & transfer them onto a sieve so that all the excess oil drips off.
Your crispy corn cheeseballs are ready, you can serve them as a starter with some ketchup & mayonnaise.
