Cheese Chutney Bombs, it is an explosion of flavor in your mouth!!! Cheese chutney bombs are made from potatoes, stuffed with coconut, cilantro chutney & of course cheese. They are coated in breadcrumbs and are fried until the chutney bombs are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside. It’s a serious party in every bite you take. The cheese chutney bombs will make for a perfect appetizer for your Diwali party.
Cheese chutney bombs is something my mil made 2 years ago for thanksgiving, it was a SUPER hit at our house. I of course needed to post it for you guys because the chutney bombs are so addicting and you can’t just stop at 1. They are easy to prep, you can even prep them ahead of time and fry right before serving. Serve cheese chutney bombs on a platter, with a toothpick and make it a fun finger food. I promise you you will want to keep eating these, and your guests will be stunned at how amazing they are. Try my Beetroot & Goat Cheese Tikki to go with these! Now you know that I love anything stuffed with cheese inside and I mean who doesn’t?!?
I hope you will give it a try! Don’t forget to tag me @zheelicious, I can’t wait to see your wonderful creations!
Stay happy, stay hungry!

Then form them into a small ball. Repeat until all of the chutney bombs are formed.

Repeat until they are all done.
- Deep dry the chutney bombs on medium heat, until they are golden brown.
- Serve hot with some green chutney!!
Notes:
- You can use soak bread instead of poha.
- You can use string cheese or habanero in the middle, I used pepperjack.
- Make sure the chutney isn’t too liquidy or it will make the whole thing soggy.
- I have not tried to air fry these, and not sure how it will be if you did.
