Method:

Add rice flour, maida and milk powder to the tapioca, knead and form a smooth dough.

Divide and roll lime size tapioca balls. 

Place cheese in the middle, garther all the edges and roll to form a cheese ball.

Similarly we can also prepare tapioca stick in the same method. We need to take slightly larger than a lime size dough. 

Roll the dough into equal cylinders, place the cheese in the middle, gather all the edges to form a cheese stick and reserve.

Heat enough oil in a wok on medium flame.

Gently drop the tapioca balls one at a time and fry for 2 minutes on each side.

Keep flipping the cheese balls gently to achive golden color.

Drain the cheese balls from oil and reserve on kitchen towel for excess oil to drain.

Similarly fry the cheese sticks.

Serve the tapioca cheese balls hot with choice of sauce...Enjoy!
