Bye Bye 2025👋..... Welcome 2026 🎉🎊🥳

Delicious vegetarian starter made from softened flattened rice (poha), mashed boiled potatoes, and finely chopped mixed vegetables, seasoned with aromatic spices. Each ball is carefully stuffed with a rich cheese cube at the center, then shaped and golden-fried to achieve a crisp outer layer with a molten, cheesy surprise inside. A perfect balance of crunch, spice, and creamy indulgence in every bite.

Tips

Soak the poha only until soft to avoid a sticky mixture, and keep the potato quantity balanced so the balls stay light. Always use chilled cheese cubes and seal them well inside the mixture to prevent leakage while frying. Fry on medium heat for an evenly crisp outer layer with a perfectly gooey cheese center.
