Tips:

1. U can make the balls and freeze it for later use. I have not tried as to how many days it can be freezed and used. Should work for a couple of days though.
2. Always cook in medium flame so that it is cooked evenly, else it will be crispy outside and uncooked inside.
3. Instead of adding grated cheese, u can stuff the corn cheese balls with cheese cubes and fry too.
4. I have ground the corn kernels to avoid bursting in oil. U can add whole corn kernels too.
5. U can use maida instead of corn flour.
