Description
Cheese Balls. Yes you might think it’s the same old cheese balls. But no your wrong. I have bought an INDIAN twist to these balls. Anyone who hates cheese also will like this dish. It’s very healthy (the main ingredient which i have used in this dish is the plantain stem “which is why i said its healthy”, when you are having these balls you will have no clue that you are actually eating the vegetable. It is soo yummy) and anyone from the kids to adults will love this dish.
