Deep Fried Pap Balls

Bring water to a boil, add salt, and slowly whisk in the maize meal. Beat out all the lumps and keep stirring every 4-5 minutes.

Reduce the heat and cook the maize meal for about 20 minutes.

In a saucepan, add oil and let it heat up on medium heat. Add bacon, red onion, and all the spices.

Add the cooked maize meal, remove from the heat, and let it cool down.

Once cooled, use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to form balls. Add cheese and use plastic wrap to roll the maize meal into balls.

Dip the pap balls into eggs, then breadcrumbs, and deep fry until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
