Milk and milk products are highly nutritious foods. They contain a unique “package of nutrients” that are an essential part of a healthy eating plan. Consuming milk, cheese and yogurt can boost immunity, lower blood pressure, reduce risk of diabetes, reduce risk for some cancers and help maintain your weight. But nowadays, I have been seeing many kids showing aversions to Milk and milk products. So we should somehow find a way to include the milk products in our day to day food. I usually add cheese to many of the dishes like dosa, pasta etc. so my kids have the cheese without even knowing that its been added. This is one of the dish my kids love and its a best way to add cheese to your kids.

Method:

Boil the sweet corns and set it aside. Finely chop the capsicum and set it aside. Take a mixing bowl and add the boiled sweet corn and grated cheese. I have used the store bought grated cheese. If you have a cheese bar, you can grate it and use it. To the mixing bowl, add boiled, peeled and mashed potato along with chopped capsicum

Then add the chopped coriander leaves along with red chilli flakes and pepper powder. Then crush the oregano leaves between your palm and add it to the bowl. Next, add corn starch to the bowl along with salt. Make sure you add less salt as the cheese would have some salt in it.

Mix everything well and make it like a dough. The corn starch is the binding agent in this dish. Grease your fingers and palm with some oil and make small lemon sized balls out of the dough. Now our dumplings are ready. We need an outercovering to make sure the cheese balls are getting nicely fried up in the oil. Take 3 tablespoon of all purpose flour in a bowl and add water little by little and mix it well till it becomes a pouring consistency. Take rest of the all purpose flour in a plate. Take the bread crumbs in a separate plate

Take a dough ball and dust it in flour. Dip the dusted ball in the flour paste and coat it nicely. Then take out the coated ball and dust it with bread crumbs. Coat the dough ball with bread crumbs nicely and make sure the whole ball is coated nicely. If it is not coated well, then the cheese tends to melt and it breaks the balls in the oil. So with more care, coat all the dough balls with maida paste and bread crumbs, Now our dumplings are ready for frying. If you are planning to treat your guests with Cheese Corn balls, then make the dumplings and keep it ready. When your guests arrive, then fry these dumplings and treat them with hot and crispy Sweet corn Cheese balls

Heat oil in a pan to deep fry the balls. Add 6-8 balls in one batch, Deep fry them in medium heat till all the balls are turn golden brown color. Remove the fried balls and add the next set of batch.
