Aloo chop

Aloo chop is a traditional snack originating from Bengal. It’s usually made with a combination of potatoes, oil, gram flour, baking soda, onions, ginger-garlic paste, chili peppers, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander, cumin, and salt. The potatoes are cooked, mashed, and mixed with stir-fried spices, vegetables, and herbs.

The combination is shaped into balls or patties, and it’s then fried in oil until golden and lightly crisp. Once done, aloo chop is typically served with a variety of chutneys, dips, and sauces. In West Bengal, there are a few types of aloo chop such as aloo bomb, Kolkata-style aloo chop, and panskurar chop.
