- Mix rice, parsley very well and adjust with some salt.

- Now let’s make cheese corn balls, for that, melt butter in a separate non-stick pan and add flour.
- Stir continue to avoid the lumps, that generally formed from the flour.
- Keep stirring and add milk.
- Cook for few seconds, till the mixture becomes thick and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
- Cool the mixture aside and then add celery, green chillies, salt, cheese and crushed corn.
- Knead the prepared corn mixture, just like any dough and try to make 10-12 equal sized balls.
- Take 1 cup of water and dilute only 1 tbsp of cornflour to make a thin paste.
- Now carefully dip the prepared corns balls one by one into prepared paste and roll with breadcrumbs.
- In the same way, make all balls, coat with breadcrumbs and place in a bowl lined with a paper napkin.
- Refrigerate these balls for few hours until sets.
- You just need to deep fry these balls in hot oil until they are golden brown and then would be placing them on hot sizzling plate to serve immediately.

- Now you can place these piping hot plates on their respective wooden base or trays.
- Be careful, and use a thick cloth to place them, as they are very very hotttt.
- Place few cheese corn balls on one side of a hot sizzler plate and arrange some cooked rice in the center of the plate.
- Top with 2-3 tbsp of prepared tomato cream sauce and arrange the caramelized vegetables besides.
