Roast the sago and grind it into a fine powder.
Mix the sago powder with curd and water in a bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan and fry garlic until aromatic.
Add tomatoes to the pan, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat, remove the tomato skins, and mash them.
Add salt, black salt, red chilli powder, chat masala, chopped green chillies, onions, and coriander leaves. Mix well.
In the sago mixture, add boiled potatoes, onions, green chillies, ginger, coriander leaves, curry leaves, rice flour, salt, and cumin seeds. Mix well to form a dough.
Take small portions of the dough and roll them into lemon-sized balls.
Press the balls in the middle, stuff them with cheese, and seal them properly.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the balls until golden brown on both sides.
Ensure the sago mixture is not too wet; it should be firm enough to hold its shape.
Use a neutral oil for frying to maintain the flavor of the cheese balls.
You can adjust the spice level of the chutney by adding more or fewer green chillies.
Can I use store-bought sago flour instead of grinding sago?
Yes, you can use store-bought sago flour to save time.
What type of cheese works best for stuffing?
Mozzarella cheese works best as it melts beautifully inside the balls.
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.
How long can I store the chutney?
The chutney can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
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.
