Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the sago mixture is not too wet; it should be firm enough to hold its shape.

  2. Use a neutral oil for frying to maintain the flavor of the cheese balls.

  3. You can adjust the spice level of the chutney by adding more or fewer green chillies.

FAQS

  1. Can I use store-bought sago flour instead of grinding sago?

    Yes, you can use store-bought sago flour to save time.

  2. What type of cheese works best for stuffing?

    Mozzarella cheese works best as it melts beautifully inside the balls.

  3. Can I bake the cheese balls instead of frying?

    Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown, but frying gives a crispier texture.

  4. How long can I store the chutney?

    The chutney can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  5. Can I make the cheese balls ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the balls and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before frying.
