👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1First grind 1/2 cup sweet corn into a smooth paste.
2. 2In a mixing bowl add the ground sweet corn paste, 1/2 cup sweet corn, 1/4 cup chopped mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 1 tsp mixed Italian herbs, 1/4 tsp red chilli powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper powder, 1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste and 1 small onion finely chopped. Add salt as needed. Mix well into a tight dough.
3. 3Meanwhile in another mixing bowl add 2 tbsp all purpose flour, 1/4 tsp black pepper powder, 1/4 tsp mixed Italian herbs and a generous pinch of salt.
4. 4Add water as needed and make a thick slurry. It should coat the back of the spoon.
5. 5Grease your fingers and make small balls from the dough.
6. 6Gently drop the prepared ball into the slurry. Using a spoon, coat the ball with slurry.
7. 7Spread 1/4 cup of panko bread crumbs on a plate and place the slurry dipped ball on the bread crumbs.
8. 8Roll the ball all over until it is coated in bread crumbs. Prepare 2-3 balls to fry at once.
9. 9Meanwhile heat oil for deep frying and when hot, set it on medium flame. Gently drop the prepared corn balls 2-3 at a time, without overcrowding the oil.
10. 10Turn them around and cook until golden brown on all sides. The oil should be hot enough to not ooze out the melting cheese but cook the corn balls through.
11. 11Remove from oil when they are golden brown and crispy.
12. 12Place them onto a kitchen tissue to drain excess oil.
13. 13To make corn cheese balls in air fryer, preheat the air fryer at 200°C for 10 mins and place all the prepared balls inside. Spray oil on top.
14. 14Cook for 5-7 mins at 200°C until they are crispy and golden. The color might not be as even as deep fried version, but will be crispy for guilt-free munching.
15. 15Serve hot with tomato ketchup as a snack or appetizer.
