Broccoli & Cheese Masala Balls

Broccoli & Cheese Masala Balls make a delicious finger food for holiday party or game day. Make them for lunch box or after school snack and your kid won’t notice the hidden broccoli while biting these gooey bites.
They are so easy to make and you can make them ahead of time and refrigerate before frying them. I used Air Fryer to avoid using too much oil and they turned out crispy from outside and soft and gooey from inside. 
Don’t forget to share a 📸 with me when you do make it.
