How To Make Cheese Balls
- To prepare this cheesy snack recipe, peel a small onion and mince it completely along with garlic. Then, take the chicken and mince it as well. You can easily get minced chicken from the market. Next, crack open the egg in a bowl and beat well using an electric beater and keep aside. Now, take a mixing bowl and mix together minced chicken, minced onion and garlic, salt, pepper powder, oregano, mixed herbs and beaten egg.
- Now, take a little amount of this mixture and make small to medium-sized balls. To the same ball, make a hollow at the centre and add a mozzarella cheese cube in it. Close the mixture and shape it like a ball once again. Repeat the process again to make more such chicken balls.
- Now, take a small bowl and mix together all-purpose flour and a little water to make a paste. It should have enough consistency to hold onto the chicken ball. Meanwhile, put a wok over medium flame and heat oil in it.
- On the other hand, dip each chicken cheese ball in the flour paste and then roll it into the breadcrumbs. Do it 2-3 times so that the chicken balls are well coated for frying.
- Once coated well, drop 2-3 chicken balls in the wok and deep fry them until light brown in colour. Keep the flame low. Once done, place these deep-fried balls in a kitchen towel to soak the extra oil and serve with a sauce of your choice. Do try this recipe, rate it and leave a comment below
