This morning we walked out of our homes to chilled-fresh air, wet roads, grey sky and drops of water scattered on the tree leaves. The after effects of some good rainfall that we witnessed last night. Now who can expect it to rain when yesterday was just another day with bright sunshine and good breeze? And all of a sudden the clouds darken the sky as the night falls and the rain comes pounding over even before we could stare out of the window all surprised? The rain Gods have surely been eves-dropping this time I guess!!!
In our childhood days, rains were a welcome sign for all the spicy, mouth watering dishes that would get cooked in the traditional way. Sometimes our elders would use earthern pots made from local red clay, and firewood to impart a smoky flavor to dishes and give it that cold wet day's feel to the food.
From fritters to Kebabs, warm soups to French fries, hot food never fails to impress anyone on a cold rainy day. But over the years, cooking styles have evolved and traditional methods have been gradually replaced by modern, gourmet creations. And so is our style for a rainy day's choice - Cheesy Corn Balls.
Crunchy from outside and cheesy from inside, this is a delight to eat. It includes a mountain of cheese types which melt incredibly with every bite filling in a whole amount of goodness through your soul.
Lets hit the recipe now
