Description:
This is self experimented Indian fasting dish by me. I have used various fasting ingredients to create this dish.
Ingredients (Serving 2 people):
- ยฝ cup Barnyard millet (Moraiyo/ Warai / bhagar)
- 1 cup mashed potatoes
- 3 tsp grated fresh coconut
- 4 tbsp of peanut powder
- 4 finely chopped green chilies (you can take as per your taste also)
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 tbsp sago and barnyard millet flour for the dough and another ยฝ cup for
- coating
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1cup grated mozzarella cheese
- ยฝ tsp red chili powder
- A handful of cilantro
- Salt
- Oil for frying
Procedure:
Step 1
Take a pan, add 1 cup water in, over high heat bring it to boil, add salt as per taste and ยฝ cup millet in it. Mix well, cover the pan with a lid, on low heat cook millet until all the water is socked. Turn off the heat and keep it covered for 10-15 min.
Step 2
Now take cooked millet in a large bowl and mash it little. Add grated potatoes, grated coconut, ยผ cup of cheese, cumin seeds, chopped green chilies, peanut powder, 2 tbsp of sago-barnyard millet powder, red chili powder, lemon juice and chopped cilantro leaves(some people donโt have it during fast then you can skip it.) Combine everything well and make a dough. When the mixture is kneaded well apply some oil to it and covered with a cotton cloth and keep aside for 5 min.
Step 3
For making balls, apply some oil to hand. Pinch a ball sized mixture and flatten slightly. Place a small mozzarella cheese ball in the center, secure well, and roll to form a smooth ball. Roll in these balls in sago-barnyard millet flour and dust off the excess flour. And refrigerate it for 30 min.
Step 4
Take out the balls and deep fry in hot oil stirring occasionally. Fry on medium heat until the cheese balls turn golden brown and crisp. Enjoy these fasting balls with peanut-coconut chutney.
