Cheese Balls - South Indian Touch.

Rain Gods have shown pity on this garden city and there she stands [Bangalore] posing with a colorful rainbow, luscious greens fresh and lovely. What more can you ask for with a cup of evening coffee and some hot cheese bondas.

It was a new recepie I tried with all the available ingredients at home on a sunday evening.I had expected a disaster to happen but voila it was a super hit.

Ingredients:
1. Cheese - 50 - 75 grams grated.
2. Potato - Boiled and mashed - 2 medium sized.
3. Green chilli - 2
4. Curry leaves - 8 leaves
5. Coriander leaves - chopped 2 tbsp
6. Red chilli powder - 2 tsp
7. Corn Flour - 3 tbsp
8. Oil - For deep fry
9. Salt to taste
10. Pinch of turmeric

Method:1. Mix the mashed potatoes with grated cheese.
2. Add 1.5 tsp chilli powder, chopped green chilli,curry leaves, coriander leaves, salt to the mix.
3. Make small lemon sized balls of the dough.
4. For the covering batter, mix 1/2 tsp chilli powder, salt , corn flour and water.Ensure no lumps are formed.
5. Place a pan of oil on medium flame.
6. Drop the balls coated with the batter into the hot oil.
7. Remove them when golden in color.

Serve this with mint chutney or ketchup. Cant get better than this.

Variations: * Grate the potato and shallow fry them before mixing with cheese. This make the inner stuffing of the bondas crispy and yummy.
* A cup of american sweet corn can be substituted for the potato. That makes a wonderful cheese mutter combination.
