Process
1) wash sweet potato and potato and boil it in enough water for 2 whistles. Let the pressure comes down naturally, then remove both potatoes from water and let it cool completely.
2) make sure that boiled veggies are not watery, if you feel so let them dry for sometime. Now grate both potatoes, to this add red chilli powder, salt, herbs, bread crumbs and mix it well to smooth paste.
Note: If you feel the mixture is not thick then add some more bread crumbs. We need thick texture in order to get good texture to cheese balls.
3) Keep this mixture aside, now add herbs, red chilli to cheese and mix well.
Note: I used aachi red chilli paste it gave good color and spicy taste to cheese ball. You can use red chilli or pepper powder or you can skip adding spice as per your taste.
4) Now prepare corn flour slurry, take 3 to 4 tsp (adjust) of cornflour in a cup to add water and prepare cornflour slurry by mixing well without forming any lumps.
5)scoop sweet potato mixture in your hand place prepared cheese in it and close it well by pressing. Give it good round shape by pressing. Prepare all cheese balls and keep it aside.
Note: make sure that cheese is inside the sweet potato mixture, so that it won't burst while frying.
6) now roll cheese balls in corn flour slurry and then in bread crumbs. Repeat the same for remaining and keep it aside.
7) If you have time, you can keep it in refrigerator and 30 min or you can fry it.
8) heat enough oil to deep fry sweet potato balls on low to medium flames, once oil is heat add cheese balls slowly and fry till color changes and then take it into plate.
That's it our yummy and cheesy sweet potato cheese balls are ready to serve. Serve it hot and enjoy with your friends and family.
