Tender Jackfruit cheese balls - It is an easy to prepare tasty kid-friendly snack with tender jackfruit, potatoes and of course cheese. Yes, smile my dear cheese lovers, It is full of cheese, you can either mix while making dough or can fill in the center. Here I am following the first method.



    While making Cheese balls two to three things should keep in mind. First of all, the mix should be tight, just like cutlets and kebabs. Here we are using cornflour as binding agents and also to retain the whitish color of cheese balls. If you have no problem with color, you can use bread crumbs.

    Also make a thick coat of batter  as there is a high chance for the cheese to ooze out. So we will have a thick wet batter before coating with bread crumbs.

    Anyway, tender jackfruit will be available now and we will try cheese balls with it. Also make it little bit spicy if you like or we can have this with spicy ketchup or mint chutney.

Take all the prepared ingredients like 80 grams grated cheese, 100 grams shredded jackfruit, 1 large potato, boiled and mashed, one or two finely chopped green chilies or 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red chili flakes and 1/2 teaspoon oregano in a bowl. The amount of chilly is adjustable. Note: Do a taste test at this stage and check whether the spices and salt are correct.
