Mozzarella sticks

Mozzarella sticks have been on my wishlist for quite a while but it just kept getting postponed because of my laziness. This time being holidays for the kids there is always a demand for different kinds of snacks. We keep making something for our morning and evening snacks

Made these couple of days back and they were given a red carpet welcome by the kids. It took them just a couple of minutes to gulp it down. They loved it to the core

Just a few ingredients and its ready in no time

Serves... 2-3 kidsppl

Serve option... Hot

This is what u'll need....

Mozzarella Cheese - as needed
Oregano seasoning - 1/2 tspn
Red chilli Flakes - 1/2 tspn
Egg - 1
Breadcrumbs - 1/2 cup
Corn flour - 1 tbspn
Oil for frying
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste

Here is the stir....

• Get all the ingredients ready

• In a small plate add breadcrumbs, oregano seasoning, red chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Mix it well so that the spices are spread evenly

• In another bowl crack open the egg. Add a tablespoon of water and whisk it with a fork

• To make the cheese sticks keep the four plates/bowls in a line - cheese, flour, egg, breadcrumbs

• Dip a slice of cheese into the flour and coat it completely. Shake off excess flour

• Dip it into the egg-water mixture till completely covered

• Next roll it over the breadcrumbs mixture and pat it a little to adhere to the cheese stick

• Place it on a plate. Repeat the same with other slices and keep it ready for frying

• Heat oil in a pan. Keep it on medium-high flame

• Once oil is hot, slide a few sticks at a time and cook for just 5-6 seconds

• Yes.... just a few seconds. Slide them into the oil and then turn it around and take them out

• Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil

• Serve hot and let the kids enjoy 

Note:

• Keep the oil hot and cook only for a few seconds. That is quite enough to melt the cheese
• Use can skip red chilli powder but my kids wanted spice so we added it
• Use very little salt as cheese will already be pretty salty
