Ingredients
1/2 cup boiled and chopped spaghetti
3/4 cup plain flour (maida)
2 tbsp butter
1 cup milk
1/2 cup boiled and crushed green peas
1/4 cup grated processed cheese
1 tsp dry red chilli flakes (paprika)
salt to taste
bread crumbs for rolling
oil for deep-frying

For Serving
tomato ketchup
Method
Combine ½ cup plain flour and approx. ¾ cup of water in a bowl and mix well. Keep aside.
Heat the butter in a broad non-stick pan, add the remaining ¼ cup of plain flour and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute, while stirring continuously.
Add the milk, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, or till the mixture leaves the sides of the pan, while stirring continuously using a whisk.
Transfer the mixture into a plate and keep aside to cool completely.
Once cooled, add the spaghetti, green peas, cheese, chilli flakes and salt and mix well.
Divide the mixture into 9 equal portions and shape each portion into a round ball.
Dip the balls in the plain flour-water mixture flour and roll it in bread crumbs till they are evenly coated from all the sides.
Refrigerate them for at least 15 minutes.
Heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai, and deep-fry, a few balls at a time on a medium flame till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
Serve immediately with tomato ketchup.
