Corn cheese ball is a recipe that is loved by all the age groups, from a toddler to the eldest of the family. We have divided the procedure of making it into 3 stages.

The first stage is making the thick white sauce which will help in binding the corn cheese balls. Start with melting butter in a pan, add equal quantity of plain flour to it. Cook it until its frothy and the raw smell goes away, add milk and stir continuously till you get a nice lump make sure there are no lumps in the prepared thick white sauce.

Once the white sauce is ready transfer it to a plate and allow it to cook, then add boiled and crushed corn to it, make sure there is no water left or it will make the mixture watery and hard to bind. Add processed cheese, you can also use mozarella cheese or even mix the cheese with the white sauce base. Add chopped coriander, green chillies and mix all the ingredients together. You can also add mixed herbs and chilli flakes to it. Then divide and roll in small balls and keep aside.

For frying the corn cheese balls, dip the prepared balls in the slurry, coat the with bread crumbs and deep fry If you want your corn cheese balls even crispier use panko bread crumbs. While deep frying, if your corn cheese balls are breaking add corn flour, mix again and then fry. To make them even colourful and add more flavour you an even add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli to it.

Corn Cheese Balls ( Starter ) recipe with step by step photos

White sauce for the Corn Cheese Balls

 

    1. Heat the butter in a deep non-stick pan on a slow flame and let it melt.
    2. Add the plain flour.
    3. Stir and cook for half a minute, you will see the flour becomes frothy and whitish and the raw smell of the flour goes slowly.
    4. Gradually add the milk. After adding the milk allow to simmer and keep on stirring, ensure that it is smooth and there are no lumps.
    5. Keep on stirring and cooking till the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan and becomes a nice smooth, thick lump.
    6. The thick white sauce is ready. Transfer it in a plate.
Homemade Corn Cheese Balls recipe

 

    1. Add the boiled and crushed sweet corn to the thick white sauce.
    2. Add chopped coriander.
    3. Add grated processed cheese. Corn and cheese is a lip-smacking combo and here we have mixed it with a base of white sauce which helps in binding everything together.
    4. Add chopped green chillies. You can even use chili flakes and dried mixed herbs to perk up the taste.
    5. And finally add salt to taste. Allow the white sauce and corn mixture to cool completely.
How to proceed to make the Cheese Balls

 

    1. Once cooled, mix well and divide the mixture into 15 equal portions.
    2. Shape each into a round ball. Ensure that there are no cracks on it.
    3. In a small bowl mix the plain flour and water. Mix well and see that there are no lumps.
    4. Dip a few balls at a time in the flour-water mixture.
    5. Roll them in the breadcrumbs till they are evenly coated from all the sides. Always use one hand to dip the balls in the flour-water mixture and the other hand to roll them in the breadcrumbs, this will give a smooth breadcrumbs coating on the balls and the breadcrumbs will not become wet and soggy.
    6. The Corn Cheese Balls coated in the flour-water mixture and breadcrumbs are ready for frying. You can make these ahead of time and keep them refrigerated. Fry just before the serving time.
    7. Heat the oil in a kadhai and check for perfect temperature of the oil.  Do a test run by first frying a very small lump from the corn cheese balls mixture. Read handy tip for knowing more about perfect temperature. 
    8. Deep-fry the Corn Cheese Balls on a medium flame till they are golden brown in colour from all the sides. Do not rush in turning them or else they might break in the oil.
    9. Drain Corn Cheese Balls on absorbent paper.
    10. Plate the Corn Cheese Balls with a decorative toothpick on each ball. To make the Corn Cheese Balls more appealing you can attach a small cheese cube and corn to the toothpick.
    11. Serve Corn Cheese Balls immediately with homemade tomato ketchup recipe or roasted bell pepper dip.
    12. You can serve them at your next dinner party. Pasta Cheese Balls, Paneer Cheese balls are other interesting starter recipes that will be enjoyed by both kids and adults.
Handy Tips

 

    1. After boiling the corn, ensure it is drained completely. There should not be too much moisture left in it. 
    2. Instead of breadcrumbs, you can use panko crumbs for coating. 
    3. You can make it little colorful by adding finely chopped vegetables like capsicum and carrots. Also, they give a nice bite on frying.
    4. Instead of grated processed cheese, you can use cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese or a combination of all. 
    5. If the cheese balls start bursting in the oil, then add little cornflour and plain flour for binding. 
    6. While frying, the cheese balls should fry and come up gradually to the surface. If it remains at the bottom let the oil heat for some more time and if it comes up in a jiffy reduce the flame. 
    7. Once you get the perfect temperature of the oil, gently slide the Corn Cheese Balls in batches.

Just make sure you cook the mixture at step 2 till really thick, also roll the balls in the maida-water mixture and roll completely in the bread crumbs. If you wish the best would be to make them in the morning and keep in fridge and deep-fry in the evening so they will be more crispy. best is watch a video and try it, they will surely turn perfect.
