Ingredients
Scale
- 7–8 bread slices (edges removed, cut into small pieces)
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 2 green chilies (finely chopped)
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh coriander (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Take bread pieces in a bowl and remove edges, cut into small pieces.
- Add chopped onion, green chilies, fresh coriander, and ginger-garlic paste to the bread.
- Add all dry spices – red chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder, black pepper, salt, and garam masala.
- Mix in grated mozzarella cheese and combine well until mixture starts to bind together.
- Take small portions of mixture and shape into round balls.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
- Deep fry the balls until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Serve hot bread cheese balls with your favorite chutney or sauce.
Notes
- Use fresh bread for best texture and binding
- Fry on medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning
- Let mixture rest for a few minutes before shaping to help ingredients bind
- Serve immediately while cheese is still stretchy and hot
- Can be paired with mint chutney, tamarind sauce, or tomato ketchup
- Ensure oil temperature is right – too hot will burn outside before inside cooks
