Spinach Cheese Balls

Spinach Cheese Balls consist of spinach on outer covering and cheese filling inside. It can be served as starter or snack item. Ingredients required for it are usually easily available in your kitchen. Let's gather them and start making them.


Ingredients :


1/2 cup Spinach puree (Washed, boil and blend)
1 cup Bread Crumbs
3/4 cup Grated mozzarella cheese (At room temp)
2 tsp Red chilly flakes
2 tsp Oregano seasoning
1/2 tsp Garlic powder / Crushed fresh garlic
2 tbsp Cornflour
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying

Method : First of all take spinach leaves 1 cup , wash it and boil it for two whistles and blend it after it cools down. Now take 1/2 cup spinach puree in mixing bowl and add garlic powder and cornflour to it along with salt to taste. To this we add 1 cup bread crumbs and mix it with hands like we mix dough . If it is sticky add more bread crumbs and if its dry add some more spinach puree. Mixture should look like soft dough now keep it aside.

       Take grated mozzarella cheese 3/4 cup in another bowl , add red chilly flakes and oregano seasoning and mix well. Make small balls of this mixture for filling, it will make around 7-8 balls depending on size.

   Apply oil on ur hands and take spinach dough slightly bigger in size than cheese balls and flatten dough on ur palm and fill it with cheese balls and form ball shape of it. Do this process by applying oil on ur hands always and gently form smooth balls of remaining dough in same manner without any cracks.
Cracks can lead to cheese bursting out during frying. Heat oil in deep wok on medium flame and start frying spinach cheese balls one by one. Once they r light brown in color take them out and serve hot with tomato ketchup and tea/coffee.
