Day 7 - Blogging Marathon - Corn Cheese Balls with French Fries

I am at loss of memory to think that its already 7 days gone .. Sure time flies.. So did these Corn Cheese Balls. This is yet another dish that I made for K & T. They loved it. I served it with French Fries and Tomato Sauce. My sister mailed me saying that K & T are totally excited about thier mention in my blogs. How could I be without mentioning them in my post. They are so adorable and loved almost everything I made for them. To be precise I spend close to 48 hours with them.. but memories are there even today after a year' s time.

Yummy ingredients that will help you make these (calorie filled) Cheese Balls

• Grated Cheese - 1 block
• Corn Kernels - a handful
• Corn flour - 2 tsp
• Bread Crumbs - to roll the cheese balls
• Oil - for Shallow Fry

Here is how I made them

• Grate Cheese
• To this add the frozen corn kernels
• Mix well and make small balls
• Mix the corn flour in a small bowl with a little water
• Dip the cheese balls in corn flour and roll them over bread crumbs
• Shallow fry them in oil for just 30 secs
• Delicious cheese balls are ready
• Serve it with tomato ketchup
• I made french fries ( the store bought ones) along with it

Note ;

• It was a super hit combo with the kids.
• You can add bread crumbs to the cheese /corn mixture. It will give you a nice texture.
• These balls can also be made with veggies in them.

Day 6 - Blogging Marathon - Gulab Jamun with Icecream

Here I am in the penultimate day of the Blogging Marathon. This post is about the sweet I prepared for my nephew P who was here on vacation. I have heard from his mother, my cousin sister in law that he likes anything that is made in a restuarant style. So that is when this idea of Gualb jamun with Ice cream hit me.
My nephew loved it so did his cousin who came with him. He has gone back to Australia, but from what I hear from my SIL is that he still keeps talking about Gulab Jamun and Ice cream.

This is what I used to make Gulab Jamun

• Khova – 11/2 cups
• Maida – 1 cup
• Sugar – 3 cups (if you want excess syrup i.e floating jamuns increase by a cup)
• Water – 1 cup (increase if you’re increasing sugar)
• Cooking Soda – 3 pinches
• Cardamom – 4 pods
• Saffron leaves – a few
• Oil – 1 cup (for deep frying)

How I made it

• Combine sugar and water in a flat bottomed broad pan and simmer on a low heat until sugar dissolves.
• Add cardamom powder and saffron leaves and remove from fire.
• Knead khova, maida and soda and quickly shape into elongated balls.
• Heat oil on a medium flame.
• Fry the jamuns till golden brown over a low to medium flame, keeping oil temperature uniform. Oil should not smoke.
• Drain the jamuns and soak in the warm sugar syrup.
  

PS : I adopted the recipe we used for ICC in November 2010

Serve the jamuns with Ice cream, not only children adults will also love it.

Let us see what my fellow marathoners are cooking.
