The onset of November marks the beginning of festive season in almost all parts of the world, with that comes the responsibility of not gaining too much weight and staying fit, I have been trying to do the same and my best buy of the festive season was the phillips air-fryer. This is a great recipe extremely healthy and a winner on taste, if you don't have an air fryer you can always deep fry or even shallow fry the balls but that would be on the unhealthy side. We paired the dish with balsamic glazed pineapple, it gives the mozzarella balls a balance of acidity and slight sweetness to the hot dip we served alongside.
INGREDIENTS:
For the mozzarella balls:
- 250 gms Tofu
- 1 small onion chopped finely
- green chilli , chopped finely
- 70 gms Mozzarella
- Parsley , chopped finely
- bread crumbs, 50-60 gms approximately
- 2 tbsp cournflour
- 4-5 tbsp water
For the dip:
- 1 tomato , finely chopped
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 2 dried red chillies
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- few basil leaves , chopped finely
- 1/4 cup cream
METHOD:
- In a mixing bowl, spread the tofu finely with your hands , add in the onion, green chilli, parsley and salt and pepper as per your taste.
- Cut the mozzarella in small cubes.
- Shape the mixture into balls adding the mozzarella cube in between.
- Mix the cornflour and water.
- Dip the balls in the cornflour mixture and coat them with the breadcrumbs.
- Cook the balls in a preheated air-fryer, for 5-7 minutes, check them around the 3rd minute.
- FOR THE DIP: Sauté the ingredients in a pan and once cooked add in the cream and salt, allow the dip to cool and blitz it in the food processor.
