Ingredients Serving: 4

Potatoes 4
Mozzarella Cheese Sticks 10
Salt - as needed
Chilli flakes 1/2 tsp
Oregano flakes 1/2 tsp
Black pepper powder 1/2 tsp
Coriander - (finely chopped) 1 tbsp
Cornflour 1 tbsp
Water 1/2 cup
Bread crumbs or Poppy seeds (khus khus) 4 tbsp
Oil - for deep frying

Instructions

Boil potatoes, peel and mash evenly. Add salt, chilli flakes, oregano and finely chopped coriander. Mix all together. Keep aside.
Slice mozzarella cheese into equal size sticks. You can even use ready made cheese sticks.
Take a cheese stick and cover it with mashed potato mix evenly, covering all sides. Shape it like a finger and keep aside. Make similar fingers in batches.
Meanwhile heat sufficient oil for frying in a wok. In a small bowl mix water and cornflour to make a solution and spread poppy seeds or bread crumbs in a plate. (I used poppy seeds)
Take one finger and dip it into the cornflour solution, roll over the poppy seeds such that it covers the finger from all sides and deep fry.
Repeat the same with rest of the fingers too. As soon as the fingers turn light golden in colour, drain them into a kitchen towel or a paper napkin to soak excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dip or tomato sauce.
