Corn Cheese Balls, Party appetizer corn cheese balls

Wishing you all advance "Happy New Year 2020 " friends. Hope this coming new year 2020 brings you all success, good health, happy and joy. Today's special recipe for New year is cheesy, crispy and tasty "corn cheese balls", it's a perfect party appetizer recipe for coming new year party. It is delectable and mouthwatering that you cannot stop with one bite. These corn cheese balls are loaded with lots of flavors and burst cheese in mouth 😋. Combination of potato and sweet corn is one of my favorite and adding cheese to it is hmmm😋😋 no need to tell that feeling. I used cubed cheese, potatoes and sweet corn and  other spices. I added cheese in two ways to make it more cheesy.


 We had these cheesy balls with red and green chilli sauces, hubby loved these with mayonnaise. i love to have it without any sauces. I used corn flour as binding agent and bread crumbs to make it more crispy.

Strawberry Choco Chip Cake || Eggless, no oven, no sugar , no maida strawberry choco chip and nuts cake

Today's recipe is for coming Christmas it's a cake - Strawberry choco chip cake / Strawberry choco chip and nuts cake. It is eggless, no oven, no butter, no sugar, no maida cake prepared using whole wheat flour , brown sugar, strawberries, choco chips, dates and lots of nuts. It is very aromatic, healthy, soft, fluffy with crunchy nutty taste. I prepared this cake in wide kadai, do not feel that you do not have oven to prepare cakes. It is easy to prepare cakes in kadai and pressure cooker. Follow all step clearly, surely you will get fluffy, spongy and super delicious cake. Surely your family love this cake, as it is prepared without maida, sugar and butter you can have it without guilt feeling :) . 
check out other eggless and no oven cake



If you are okay with using APF and sugar you can replace it with whole wheat flour and brown sugar. If you do not have choco chips no need to worry just replace it with nuts. I added strawberry paste in batter which gives nice flavor to cake. I spread dates, nuts and choco chips as one layer instead of mixing them in batter this gave good even crunchy taste while eating every piece of cake 😋.



This is perfect cake for christmas, birthdays, new year and for any special occasions at home. So surely try this healthy, delectable and tasty cake at home easily and enjoy your special days with your family members.

** Remember to preheat kadai for 15 min on medium flames, so that cake will cook on time. 

** instead of wheat flour, brown sugar you can use maida and sugar.

** Add nuts of your choice make sure to dust it some flour so that it wont sink in batter.

** Do not fill the mould completely only 3/t4h of mould is used to add batter, as it will become fluffy while baking.

** If you are using pressure cooker then make sure to remove cookers whistle and gasket.(below pic is my Rava chocolate cake small portion of batter i baked in pressure cooker).


           

** Do not heat kadai/ cooker too long time or on high flames as cake will become hard.

** Do not be panic if you are cake is ready after 40 minute, just bake it for some more time by increasing its flame very bit.

** Adding cinnamon powder is optional but it gives very nice aroma to cake. You can also skip adding cinnamon powder.
