Bring the milk to a boil, add all the ingredients of the balls given above (except lemon juice and cheese/cream) once the boil is almost there
After the boil or 1 min, the milk itself will start curdling as the ingredients added have their own acidity
Add required amount of lemon juice to make it curdled completely
Immediately switch off the flame or this flavored Masala cottage cheese will turn chewy or goes.
Place a fine mesh strainer and line it with muslin cloth.
Pour the curdled mixture into the muslin cloth.
Gather the corners and twist the top gently to form the cheese into a round ball
Place in the fridge or bring it to the room temperature.
Now add sour cream or cheese
Mix well and again keep it covered in the muslin cloth.
Now, take this mix and spread in palms
Fill in cherry tomatoes in few, or jalapeño or chicken filling and cover from the other side and roll in hands to make the balls.
We will make some with fillings and some plain without any filling.
Next, we will separately scatter the different rollords or topping mix in bowls
Roll the balls in different toppings.
The twisted balls will look beautiful in different colours, texture n inviting flavors.
In a picker, layer basil leaves or jalapeño or olives and prick in the balls.
