Oats provide fiber and are a healthier binding option.

Take 1 cup of thick poha and grind it into a fine powder in a mixer. The texture should be slightly coarse, not completely fine.

Transfer the poha powder to a bowl.

Add 1 cup of boiled and mashed potatoes to the poha powder.

Chop green chilies and add them according to taste, along with fresh coriander leaves.

Add salt to taste, 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper powder, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili flakes, and 1 teaspoon of pizza seasoning. Optionally, add 1 teaspoon of Kashmiri red chili powder for color.

Mix all the ingredients well without adding water initially.

Gradually add about 1/4 cup of water to form a soft dough, kneading it like you would for dough.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the dough and knead again, then let it rest for 10 minutes to set.

In another bowl, mix 3/4 cup of mozzarella cheese and 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese until well combined.

Form small balls from the dough, optionally flattening them like kachoris for easier handling.

Stuff the cheese mixture into the dough balls, sealing them well.

You can refrigerate the balls for later use, storing them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the balls until golden and crispy, ensuring they are cooked through.

Remove the balls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
