Ingredients
- Potatoes, boiled 2 medium
- Dry mango powder (Amchur) 1/2 teaspoon
- Coriander powder 1/2 teaspoon
- Red chili powder 1/4 teaspoon
- Crushed black pepper or black pepper powder 1/2 teaspoon
- Fresh Coriander (Cilantro), chopped 1 tablespoon
- Salt To taste
- Cheese spread 2 teaspoons
Or
Cheese cubes 2
- Bread crumbs or toast crumbs 2 tablespoons
- Cooking oil For deep frying
Procedure
- Peel the potatoes and mash them well.
- Add dry spices, chopped coriander (cilantro) and crumbs and mix well.
- Take a small portion of the mix and flatten it on the palm.
- Put 1/4 teaspoon of cheese spread or 1/4 cheese cube on it.
- Fold from all sides and roll within your palms to make a dumpling.
Tip: Seal the dumplings carefully otherwise the melted cheese will leak while frying.
- Do the same with the rest of the mixture.
- Put all the dumplings in a plate or dish (such that they don’t stick to each other) and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Place a deep frying pan with cooking oil on high heat.
- Fry the cheesy dumplings on high flame.
Tip: Frying the dumplings on high flame prevents them from sticking to the bottom of the frying pan.
- When they turn to a beautiful golden brown color, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels (tissue papers) to drain the excess oil.
- Arrange them on a serving dish and serve hot with tomato ketchup.
