Cheese and Chilli bites

Third of the month long Marathon cooking with ABC theme. Third day we have to cook with letter C. For letter C I thought of making some cup cakes with cornmeal. When I was checking my bookmarked recipe s I find Basil crackers recipe from Gayatri. I made those basil crackers once they came out so well really crisp. Thank you so much for the recipe Gayathri, my Dad enjoyed them with his evening chai.
                                                                   Now I got a chance to give a twist to this bites with cheese. But only with cheese they taste very light, so I added some red chilli flakes to the dough to make the cheese bites little spicy. For this I used wheat flour, and gave a bite size to make them more interesting. 
Here is my recipe for the day C for Cheese and chillies
