Cheesy Corn Nuggets

                                            Cheese Corn Nuggets

    It has became a herculean task of deciding what should I give my son for his after school eats. Everyday he wants something different from the usual, with the foot-store in the fridge I manage to make some interesting foods. 
   You can always make the food more appetising by name you give to it. I didn't have bread crumbs for coating the nuggets, so thought of using the cornflakes to coat. Cornflakes made the nuggets more crispier and it stayed crispier for a long time. 

Cuisine: Fusion
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Frying Time: 5 to 7 minutes for a batch of 4 nuggets
Resting Time: 20 minutes 

Ingredients:
Grated Mozzarella cheese: 1/2 cup
Finely ground pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Mixed herbs (Oregano, Thyme, Etc)
Boiled salted Corn Kernels" 1/4 teaspoon
Maida: 2 table spoons
Salt as per taste
Corn flakes: 1/4 cup
Oil for frying

Method:
1. Boil the sweet corn kernel with a pinch of salt and drain the water. Keep it aside.
2. Grate the mozzarella cheese, add the pepper and mixed herbs to the cheese and add the corn kernels and mix well.
3. Make a thick batter of maida (ie) it should be like dosa batter consistency, with little salt.
4. Pulse once the corn flakes in a mixie jar and keep. It should be coarse.
5. Take the cheese corn mixture and make a lemon sized ball out of it. Make it into cylindrical shape.
6. Dip the cylinders into the maida batter and take it and roll it in the corn flake. Place it on a plate carefully.
7. Refrigerate it for 20 minutes.
8. Heat enough oil for frying in a kadai over medium flame.
9. When the oil is hot, drop the nuggets one by one gently into the oil and fry till it become golden brown colour, drain excess oil and take it out.
10. Serve it hot with spicy tomato ketchup.

Note:
1. You can add potatoes along with cheese for firm binding, if you are a beginner. I didn't use potato.
2. Mixed herbs is available in any super market under many brand names.
3. Be careful while adding salt, as these herbs may have dehydrated onion, garlic which may contain salt.
