Peel and mash boiled potatoes and set them aside in a refrigerator. Make a thick batter using besan, water, oil, ajwain, turmeric and chilli powder. Cover and allow to rest for around 10 minutes. Pound ginger, garlic and green chillies together to make a coarse mixture.
Heat oil in a pan, and add cumin seeds, mustard seeds and curry leaves, followed by the pounded mixture made earlier. Saute and then add onion.
Next, add turmeric, salt, steamed corn, coriander leaves and chaat masala. Mix well. Then add the mashed potatoes and combine all the ingredients. Turn off the stove and allow this mixture to reach room temperature. Once cooled, make small balls of the aloo mixture. Inside each, press a piece of a cheese cube/ fill it with grated cheese. Seal the balls well with more potato mixture as required.
Coat these balls into the besan batter and deep fry them until they turn golden brown. Serve hot with ketchup and hari chutney.
