Some tips & variations for making Spinach Cheese Balls :

  • Do not add water while blending spinach. If you require, just add a little water.
  • You can add more bread crumbs if your dough is sticky.
  • We have used amul processed cheese cubes and cut each cube into 4 pieces. You can even use mozzarella or any other cheese.
  • When you make balls, make sure there are no cracks in them. Otherwise they may break and cheese may burst out while frying.
  • We have prepared 12 balls. If you want you can reduce the size and serve each ball with a toothpick inserted on it.
