2 cheese cubes , cut into small pieces
1/2 cup fresh finely chopped coriander (dhania) leaves
1 finely chopped green chillies
2 tbsp cornflour
4 tbsp bread crumbs
oil for deep frying
2 tbsp prepared gravy

For The Gravy
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1 tsp ginger-garlic (adrak-lehsun) paste
1 medium finely chopped onion
1 medium finely chopped tomato
salt to taste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
1/2 tsp red chilli powder (or to taste)
1 tsp coriander (dhania) powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 cup water

For The Chutney
100 gms peanuts
2 dry red chillies (pandi)
1 tsp honey
salt to taste
2-3 black peppercorns (kalimirch)
1 medium piece fresh coconut

Method

For the peanut chutney

Combine the peanuts, red chillies, salt, black pepper, honey and little water and blend in a mixer. Add coconut and again blend to a smooth paste.

For the gravy

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a deep non-stick pan, add the cumin seeds. After cumin seeds crackle, add ginger-garlic paste. Then add onion. Once onion gets transparent then add tomatoes. And fry this for 10-15 minutes, while continuously stirring.
Add salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder and red chili powder. And stir continuously till oil separates. Then add ¼ cup water and cook well. Turn off the flame and let it come down at room temperature.

For the balls

Combine the cooked rice, rajma, green chilli, coriander, salt and prepared gravy. Mix well and divide into equal balls.
Press a little in the center of each ball to make a depression. Place a piece cheese cube in the center of each round.
Bring all the sides together to seal it, and roll again to form a ball.
Mix cornflour with water. Dip the prepared ball in it and then roll each ball in bread crumbs till they are evenly coated from all the sides.
Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, 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 peanuts chutney.
