Pro tips
Go easy on salt because it will have a lot of cheese, which may contain salt too.
Parmesan cheese is preferred as it doesn’t melt when shallow-fried.
It is a good idea to use a piping bag so that all fingers come out the same size.
Cook the aloo cheese fingers on a medium flame so that the aloo and cheese don’t remain raw.
