                                           SOOJI CHEESE BALLS / SOOJI SHOTS / RAVA BALLS

INGREDIENTS

• Rawa / sooji – ½ cup
• Water – 1 cup [ we can also use milk instead of water ]
• Salt to taste
• Cheese – ½ cup grated [ I used amul cubes ]
• Chilli flakes – 1 OR 1 ½ tsp as per taste
• Oregano / mixed herbs – 1 tsp
• Finely chopped coriander leaves – 1 or 2 tbsp
• Very finely chopped capsicum – 3 tbsp [ optional ]
• Cornflour – 2 or 3 tbsp for binding
• Oil to deep fry /shallow fry

METHOD

Roast the sooji slightly till aromatic, colour should not change .

Boil 1 cup water + salt .

As soon as it starts boiling ,start adding the sooji little by little – keep stirring while adding so that no lumps are formed .

Stir and cook for 1 or 2 mins on low flame till the mixture is dry.

Cook till the mixture leaves the side of the pans and gathers like a ball .

Remove on a big plate ,spread and allow it to cool.

Once cooled add grated cheese + chilli flakes + coriander leaves + capsicum + oregano + cornflour and mix well. [ adjust salt if required ]

Knead it into a soft dough .

Divide into equal portions.[ little big than marble size] roll each portions into smooth balls . [ don’t make of lemon size ]

Refrigerate the balls for some time , minimum 15 mins or more – you can use it the next day also or you can directly fry it .

Heat oil in a pan ,gently slide in the balls and deep fry till golden brown on medium flame – don’t burn it .[ takes time to fry ]

Serve hot with chutney / ketchup / dips .

*** U can also fry on appe pan .

NOTES

1. In this recipe instead of mashed potatoes , we are using sooji .Same way we v can make many recipes like sooji fingers /sooji veg cutlet etc instead of mashed potatoes use cooked sooji .
2. Fry on medium flame – not low or high .
3. Instead of cheese you can add grated paneer or you can add both .
4. If the mixture is loose , you can add more corn flour .
5. You can add Indian masalas instead of oregano or chilli flakes .
6. Instead of chilli flakes you can add pepper pwdr or green chilli .
