When I first ordered chilli cheese bites at Burger king, I was blown away with it’s taste. I fell in love with them instantly. It was my new obsession then and it continues to remain even today. But only 4 bites for 4.5€ was a little too much to spend on every week so I decided to go home and try making my very own chilli cheese bites. They are so different from what I’ve had at Venky’s in India or some other fast food joint. This one beats them all 🙂 Do try out this classic recipe of chilli cheese bites and get ready to be blown away : )

-
Then drain on a kitchen absorbant towel and serve hot with tomato or barbeque sauce. Your chilli cheese bites are ready to be gobbled up.
Tips
- If you see cheese oozing out, before its golden brown, then probably your cooking on high flame. So reduce the flame or you have’nt coated them well.
- Fry just until you get your golden, brown colour or they may overcook
