Notes:
Melt cheddar cheese slices using a double boiler technique and mix in finely chopped green chillies or jalapenos for heat.
Spread the melted cheese mixture onto cling film, roll into a tight cylinder, pack the corners, and refrigerate for one hour until completely set.
Cut the chilled cheese log into small bite-sized chunks and coat them thoroughly in plain flour.
Choose between two coating methods: either dip the floured cheese bites into beaten egg and roll in seasoned breadcrumbs, or dip them into an alternative batter made from eggs, yeast, chilli powder, salt, and flour.
Deep fry the coated chilli cheese bites in hot oil over medium heat until they turn a light, golden brown and are crispy on the outside.
