About Cheese Corn Balls Cheese Corn Balls are a classic snack that we enjoy often in India. Here we prepare them similar to the European/French style of fried cheese and corn balls or puffs, known as gougeres. They are crunchy and crispy with a sweet and cheesy inside, and pair great with bright and tangy condiments. We usually eat cheese and corn balls at restaurants, and thought it was time I developed an easy recipe to make at home....

With a marinade that doubles as a dressing, much like that Grilled Chilli Lime Chicken Fajita Salad, this salad is, dare I say, even better! Char-grilled red pepper (capsicum) slices, crispy romaine lettuce, and the tangy, sweet marinade soaked into tender chicken thighs would complete this salad right there. But, what outshines in this salad is the mango salsa. I was extremely hesitant to put mango in this salad, but, I could almost taste the pairing of creamy avocado with the juicy, sweetness of mango, and knew somehow that these would go together....

And when stored correctly, this magical herb stays fresh for 3-4 weeks in the fridge....

The flaws which were there in the flour first time, were covered when I tried the second time....
