Ingredients:
1 cup of flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper or chili powder (optional, for spice lovers)
1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
1/4 cup finely chopped vegetables (onions, bell peppers, or spinach)
1/2 cup water or milk
Oil for frying
Directions:
Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the grated cheese and chopped vegetables, stirring until evenly distributed. Gradually add water or milk while mixing until you achieve a thick, smooth batter.
Heat the Oil: Pour oil into a deep pan or fryer and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a small bit of batter; if it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready.
Shape the Bombs: Use a spoon or your hands to scoop small portions of the batter, shaping them into rough balls.
Fry to Perfection: Carefully drop the batter balls into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve: Remove the bombs using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dips or sauces!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve immediately for the best crunch, paired with ketchup, ranch dressing, or a spicy mayo dip.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
