Step 1

Boil potatoes in a steamer or pressure cooker or an electric cooker. Boil the potatoes till they are completely cooked. You can even steam the potatoes in an Instant Pot for 7 to 8 minutes.

Step 2

When the potatoes become warm, peel them and mash very well in a mixing bowl. Allow the potatoes to come at room temperature before you add the remaining ingredients.

Step 3

Grate 60 grams cheese and keep aside. In cup measurement, the amount is ½ cup tightly packed grated cheese.

Step 4

You can use either cheddar cheese or processed cheese. If using amul processed cheese, then use 3 cubes.

Step 5

To the mashed potatoes, add black pepper, crushed or black pepper powder, cumin powder, a pinch of garam masala (optional) and chopped coriander leaves or parsley leaves.

Step 6

Add gram flour (besan). You can also add all purpose flour or cornstarch (corn flour).

Step 7

Mix very well.

Step 8

Then add the grated cheese and two pinches of black salt. Add salt accordingly as cheese already has salt. You can even add rock salt or regular salt instead of black salt.

Step 9

Mix the cheese with the rest of the potato mixture very well. Check the taste and add more salt or crushed black pepper if required.

Step 10

Make small balls from the mixture and make one tiny ball to test while frying.

Step 11

Heat oil for deep frying in a kadai or pan.

Step 12

When the oil becomes hot, add the tiny cheese ball. The temperature of oil can be from 180 to 190 degrees celsius.

Step 13

The oil has to be hot, otherwise the cheese balls may break.

Step 14

When the tiny cheese ball, does not break, then you can easily fry the other balls. If it breaks, then you have to add 1 to 2 tablespoons gram flour or chickpea flour to the mixture again. Keep the same temperature while frying by increasing or decreasing the heat.

Step 15

Add the remaining potato cheese balls.

Step 16

With a slotted spoon, turn over when the balls get to become golden.

Step 17

Fry them till they are evenly golden all over and crisp.

Step 18

Once fried well, place them on kitchen paper towels to remove excess oil

Step 19

Serve hot with tomato ketchup or coriander chutney or mint chutney or any dip of your choice. For best taste serve them hot as soon as they are prepared.
