# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, combine 1 cup sweet corn, 3 boiled and mashed potatoes, 1/2 finely chopped onion, 1/2 finely chopped capsicum, 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste, 1 finely chopped green chili, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander. Add 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons bread crumbs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly to form a smooth dough.
02 - In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons corn flour, 2 tablespoons maida, 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup water. Stir well to remove lumps.
03 - Pinch a small portion of the dough and flatten it slightly. Place a mozzarella cheese ball in the center and secure the edges, rolling it into a smooth ball.
04 - Dip the formed balls in the prepared slurry, then roll them in panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
05 - Freeze the coated balls for 20 minutes to prevent cheese from melting during frying.
06 - Deep fry the cheese balls in hot oil over medium flame, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
07 - Serve the fried cheese balls hot with chili sauce or tomato sauce.
