Alterations that you can make in the Corn Cheese Balls recipe

Well, you can alter the recipe a little bit as per your taste buds. If you want to make it spicier you can add finely chopped green chilies or chili flakes.

I have not added it as my daughters can’t eat spicy food. You can also avoid making a coarse paste of corn and keep the corn kernel as it is. This will work just well.

You can also add garam masala, red chili powder to your recipe, and make it more aromatic. Little changes can be made in this recipe to suit the taste buds that your family may like.
