Spinach Cheese Balls are healthy and cheesy appetizer/ snack recipe. It is prepared by sauteing spinach along with onion, garlic, ginger and chili. It is then pureed, corn flour and breadcrumbs are added to make a dough. Then spinach balls are prepared with mozzarella cubes stuffed in the center. For healthier version I have fried spinach cheese balls in appe pan with few drops of oil.
