INSTRUCTIONS
If you have store-bought Mac and Cheese or Leftover Mac and Cheese, skip this step. Cook Elbow Macaroni until it gets al dente. Melt Butter in a Pan. As the Butter melts, add the flour and stir until combined and the raw smell goes away. Now, gradually, add the milk and keep stirring over medium-low heat, so that there are no lumps formed. Add the chopped Garlic and Jalapenos and cook until they get tenderized. Finally, add the cooked Macaroni to the sauce. Stir until combined. Add the Salt & Pepper and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese. Allow it to cool down to room temperature. If you have precooked Mac and Cheese, heat it in a pan or in the oven with some finely chopped Jalapenos. Stir every few minutes and cook until the Jalapenos gets mixed with the Mac and Cheese. Allow it to cool down to room temperature.
Take 1 Teaspoon of the Mac and Cheese, and roll it into balls.
Coat the Balls evenly with cornstarch
Deep fry the Balls in hot oil until they get crispy on all sides. Serve hot.
