Instructions
To begin crafting your Sweet Potato Balls stuffed with Cheesy Garlic Mayo, first, gather and prepare all the ingredients as outlined above.
-
Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, finely chopped coriander leaves, salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder, amchur powder, and rice flour. This mixture will form the delightful base for your sweet potato balls.
-
Divide the Mixture: Once the ingredients are well incorporated, divide the sweet potato mixture into 8 to 10 equal portions, shaping them into balls. Set these aside on a plate.
-
Prepare the Slurry: In another bowl, mix the remaining corn flour, a pinch of salt, and the coarsely pounded black peppercorns. Gradually add water to the mixture to create a slurry that is neither too thick nor too thinโjust enough to coat your balls effectively.
-
Setup for Coating: On a flat plate, spread the breadcrumbs in an even layer. Meanwhile, fill a piping bag or a plastic bag with the Del Monte Cheesy Garlic Mayo to make the stuffing process simpler.
-
Stuff the Balls: Carefully make a small hole in each sweet potato ball using your finger. Pipe in about half a teaspoon of the cheesy garlic mayo into each ball, ensuring you leave a little space at the top. Gently seal the top, making sure the mayo is enclosed within the sweet potato mixture.
-
Coat the Balls: Dip each stuffed ball into the corn flour-water slurry, allowing any excess to drip off. Next, roll each ball in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they are well-coated.
-
Fry the Balls: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add sunflower oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the sweet potato balls in batches. Fry them until they turn a lovely golden brown, which should take about 4-5 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to remove the balls from the oil, allowing them to drain on absorbent paper.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Sweet Potato Balls hot, paired with roasted tomato sauce or your favorite chutney. For an extra zing, consider offering Del Monte Mint Mayo as an accompaniment.
These delectable Sweet Potato Balls are sure to be a hit, offering a delightful combination of flavors and textures that are not only satisfying but also incredibly tasty. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or a unique breakfast item, they embody the spirit of comfort food while being easy to prepare. Enjoy the culinary journey as you share this dish with friends and family, making every meal a celebration of flavors!
