Ingredients

Instructions

  • Crush half the quantity of corn using a blender.
  • Fry garlic and green chillies in oil till they turn light golden brown.
  • Add white sauce along with Maille mustard to a pan. Bring to a boil on medium flame.
  • Add the crushed and whole sweet corn, mix and cook for 2 minutes or till it becomes thick.
  • Add the cheese, Italian seasoning, crushed black pepper and salt (only if needed).
  • Mix and cook till it all comes together like a dough.
  • Add the cilantro and give it a final mix.
  • Allow the mixture to cool a bit. Grease your palms with oil if needed and divide the dough into equal portions. Then shape them into golf-size balls and arrange them on a plate.
  • Dip each ball in the milk and then roll it in the breadcrumbs. Place the plate in the fridge or freezer for 15 minutes. This prevents the cheese from oozing out.
  • Meanwhile heat oil for frying. Fry them in batches in hot oil over a medium flame till they turn golden brown.
  • Do not crowd them and don't be in a hurry to flip them. Cook one side and after you see the edges browning, turn it over and fry the other side.
  • Prepare as many Cheese Corn Fritters as you need and transfer to a plate layered with paper towels to soak off the excess oil.
  • Serve the cheese corn croquettes hot with some chutney, ketchup, spiced mayo, schezwan sauce, or any other dipping sauce.

Notes

If using ready white sauce, add salt only after tasting the mixture. To help with binding, you can also add one mashed potato, sweet potato, or ⅓ cup paneer to the mixture.
Add some flour to the mixture if the balls are too soft. Breadcrumbs can be substituted with crushed cornflakes, potato chips, or nachos.
Stuff the croquettes with a cheese cube in the center to make these stuffed cheese corn balls even more indulgent. Add more veggies or greens to make it more flavorful.
