Corn and cheese a wonderful combo , which i never knew until i have tasted this last year in Cream centre Chennai. After that i wanted to try it at home but some how forgot. Few weeks back i got two requests from readers to post the recipe of Corn cheese balls i suddenly remembered this and made it at home last week and it turned out super perfect. Though i made it in the noon, when the kids came in the evening it was not soggy and they enjoyed it very much. Without boring you much let me move on the recipe of how to make corn cheese balls.
PREPARATION TIME: 15 MINUTES. COOKING TIME:20 MINUTES.MAKES: 10 BALLS
INGREDIENTS:
| CORN (I USED FROZEN) | 1 CUP |
| ALL PURPOSE FLOUR | 3 TBLSP |
| GREEN CHILLI | 1 |
| RED CHILLI POWDER | 1/2 TSP |
| MILK | 1/4 CUP |
| CHEESE(I USED MOZZARELLA) | 6-7 TBLSP |
| OIL | FOR DEEP FRYING |
| SALT | AS NEEDED |
| BREAD CRUMBS | AS NEEDED |
METHOD:
- Boil the frozen corn for 5 minutes in water and completely drain the water. If using fresh corn pressure cook it and take out the kernels.
- Pat the corn with a kitchen towel to take out the extra moisture.
- Just pulse the corn in the mixer once. do not make it a paste.
 |
 |
- In a wide bowl add the mashed corn, cheese,maida |all purpose flour finely chopped green chilli, red chilli powder, and salt.
- Mix well to get the spices mix evenly.
 |
 |
- Make this mixture into small balls and keep it in a plate.
- Take milk in a small bowl. Keep the bread crumbs in a wide plate.
- Dip the balls in milk.
 |
 |
- Immediately roll them onto the bread crumbs nicely. Repeat this for all the balls.
 |
 |
- when done cover this with a cling wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oil for deep frying. when hot, bring it to medium flame.
- slowly place the balls one by one and deep fry them till golden brown.
- Drain excess oil in kitchen towel.
 |
 |
- Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the balls.
- Crispy corn cheese balls are ready. Enjoy with hot cup of tea.
NOTE:
- I added just 3 tblsp of cheese as i don’t want to add more. But my kids complained that i must have added more cheese !!
- Always ensure the water in the corn is moist free before making balls.
- You can make this in the morning and keep it in the refrigerator and can fry just before serving.

Looks so inviting…corn and cheese is really a heavenly combi..my kids love it
Can I use Maidha/Rice flour in place of All purpose flour? Instead of cling wrap can I put it in a air tight container & refrigirate it?
All purpose flour and maida are same. Rice flour i never tried though. You can put in a box but ensure that they won't stick to each other too much. A wide box is fine
Thanks for your reply mam. I tried the very next day, I added rice flour and it came so well. I still doubt if the inner layer will be sticky even after deep frying ? Or you suspect anything wrong in my way of cooking it.
Looks fantastic & delicious .. nice clicks..
Lovely and delightful looking combination of cheese and corn balls. This snack must have been a runaway hit.

Corn cheese balls looks so delicious.. Perfect as starter for Party..
Thanks for posting dis recipe jeyashri.. i had dis in chill n grill… i was searching dis recipe for long time…Yours look the same..Bookmarked 🙂 will make a try soon…the bread crumps u used is home made or packed one?
Looks very tempting!
Will the mixture be sticky while making the balls or am I wrong somewhere?
If you feel the mixture is sticky add little maida. It will turn perfect
can breadcrumbs be replaced with rawa?
I have never tried rava, but you can try, else you can use coarsely powdered cornflakes too.
where do we get ready made bread crumbs in Singapore ?
We get in fairprice priya. It's quite cheaper too.
Looks tempting enough for me to try this out today. Have you tried this in appe pan/appam pan?
Hi Lalitha, I have never tried in appe pan, but i am sure how long will it take to get cooked in appe pan.
It's a brilliant recipe… Thanks…it works really well…
Did u use sweet Corn or unsweetened ones?
I used the frozen corns. i have mentioned this in the post too
How can i make bread crumbs? Is it regular toast crumbled?
I used store bought crumbs but you can toast and crumble it in a food processor
I have eaten the same dish in vepery, Chennai. Instead of bread crumbs they are using bread. Bread is soaked in water and taken up immediately and it acts as a cover to the cheese ball. How this is possible.
Yes they dip the bread in water and immediately take it out and gently squeeze it the excess water. Fill the stuffing and cover it and fry. Thus the bread acts as a cover and forms a crispy outer layer.
Yummy snack recipe, came out super perfect in airfrier too.thnx for such delicious recipe..
