Ingredients
Filling:
1 cup sweet corn (boiled or canned)
1 small potato, boiled and mashed
½ cup mozzarella cheese (or mix with cheddar)
2 tbsp finely chopped onion
1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp breadcrumbs (for mixing)
Oil for deep or shallow frying
Coating:
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
¼ cup water (to make a thin batter)
Breadcrumbs (for rolling)
Instructions
Mix Filling:
In a bowl, mash corn slightly (leave some kernels whole). Add mashed potato, cheese, onion, chili flakes, black pepper, salt, 2 tbsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp breadcrumbs. Mix until you get a soft dough.
Shape Balls:
Take small portions and roll into bite-sized balls.
Prepare Batter:
Mix flour, cornstarch, and water into a smooth thin batter.
Coat:
Dip each ball into the batter, then roll in breadcrumbs. For extra crunch, dip and roll again.
Chill (Optional):
Refrigerate balls for 15–20 minutes to help them firm up before frying.
Fry:
Heat oil over medium heat. Fry balls until golden and crisp (about 3–4 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
Notes
For a healthier twist, air fry or bake at 400°F (200°C) until crisp.
Add herbs like cilantro or parsley for extra freshness.
You can prep the balls ahead and freeze before frying.
