Ingredients for Soji Chili Cheese Balls
– Fine semolina – 1 cup
– Water – 2 cups
-Mozzarella cheese or processed cheese – small cubes
– Green hot pepper – 2-3 finely chopped
– Chili flakes – 1 teaspoon
– Mixed herbs or oregano – 1 teaspoon
– Ginger and garlic paste – 1 teaspoon
– Green coriander – 2 tablespoons finely chopped
– Salt – to taste
– Oil – for frying
How to make (step by step)
1. Preparing the semolina base
Heat water in a frying pan. Add salt, a little oil, chili flakes, ginger and garlic paste. When the water starts to boil, reduce the heat and add the semolina slowly. Continue stirring until no lumps form. When the mixture thickens and starts to come out of the pan, turn off the gas.
2. Make a smooth, dough-like mixture
Let the semolina cool a little. Put some oil on your hands and then massage it well. Now add green chillies and green coriander to it. This will make the taste fresh and a little spicy.
3. Make balls filled with cheese
Take small portions of the semolina mixture. Distribute it on the palm of the hand and place a piece of cheese in the middle. Close it on all sides and form a round ball. Make sure there are no cracks, otherwise the cheese may come out during frying.
4. Fry until golden and crispy
Heat the oil in the frying pan over medium heat. Slowly add the balls and fry them over medium heat. Keep stirring occasionally until the color remains even. When they are golden and crispy, take them out.
Tips for getting the perfect crunchy texture
While adding semolina, keep the flame low, only then the mixture will turn out right.
-If the mixture is too dry, you can add some hot water.
– While frying, the oil should not be too hot, otherwise the outside will turn brown quickly and the inside will remain cold.
-Do not overfill the ball, otherwise the ball may explode.
Ways to serve
Serve Sooji Chili Cheese Balls hot with tomato ketchup, green chutney or Schezwan sauce. Sprinkling light chaat masala or mixed herbs on top enhances the taste. You can also serve it as a party snack using a toothpick, making it easy to eat.
Preset method
If you want to make them in advance, you can make the balls, keep them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Leave them out of the oven for 5-10 minutes before frying, then fry them in hot oil. This will preserve the texture better.
