Or

 Cheese cubes                                                               2

  • Bread crumbs or toast crumbs                                     2 tablespoons
  • Cooking oil                                                                  For deep frying

Procedure

  1. Peel the potatoes and mash them well.
  2. Add dry spices, chopped coriander (cilantro) and crumbs and mix well.
  3. Take a small portion of the mix and flatten it on the palm.
  4. Put 1/4 teaspoon of cheese spread or 1/4 cheese cube on it.
  5. 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.

  1. Do the same with the rest of the mixture.
  2. Put all the dumplings in a plate or dish (such that they don’t stick to each other) and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  3. Place a deep frying pan with cooking oil on high heat.
  4. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Arrange them on a serving dish and serve hot with tomato ketchup.
