  4. 4

    Mix all this into a dough. Divide this into even-sized balls and keep aside.

  5. 5

    For breading the cheese balls, crack two eggs in a bowl and whisk, take 2 cups of flour in another bowl, take panko crumbs in another bowl.

  6. 6

    Dust the cheese balls in flour and dip that in the egg mixture, coat it with panko crumbs, again dip this in the egg and coat it with panko crumbs. Double coating it will give extra crispiness and will prevent the cheese from oozing out.

  7. 7

    Heat oil in a pan for deep-frying the cheese balls. Drop the cheese balls one by one into the oil and deep fry it until the outside is golden brown.
