Cheese is that one versatile food item that can be mixed with a variety of dishes and can be savoured in many forms. Here are five cheese-filled desi recipes you can make at home.
Chop onions, add besan, red chilli, pepper, and salt, and mix. Combine till the onions are covered well with the besan. Add shredded cheese and mix again. Pour in a spoonful of the bhajiya cheese batter and fry till crisp and golden.
Prepare a smooth paste with besan, water, crushed black pepper and coriander seeds, asafoetida, baking soda, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, sesame seeds, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps. Cut some cheese cubes, add them to the batter, and fry them in oil.
Boil potatoes and mash them with garlic powder, herbs, coriander leaves, a pinch of salt, chilli flakes, pepper, and breadcrumbs. Divide this mix into some bite-size balls and stuff these balls with chopped cheese cubes. Coat the balls in cornflour, and then coat it in egg. Fry the coated balls till they are golden.
Add capsicum, red bell peppers, corn, and onions and mix them with salt, red chilli flakes, mayonnaise, and pizza sauce in a bowl. Now, on a plate grease some oil and assemble the pav. Cut through the middle and spread cheese, the creamy filling, and some more cheese, and top with Italian herbs. Place this plate on the kadai and let this steam for 10 minutes.
