This snacks item is one of my fav from the street food in Odisha. Its easy to make but I never really tried before as I was thinking it’s a big deal and who will take the effort. But during my pregnancy I had craving for all Odia food items which is not available in Bangalore 🙂 . So did a hit n trial and made this one…
You will need (for Dish to serve 4 people)
1) Boiled potatoes – 4 to 5
2) Grated Beetroot – 2
3) Onions cut into small pieces – 1
4) Ginger garlic paste – 1 to 2 tsp
5) Boiled peas – Half cup
6) Corn flour – 2to 3 tbsp (mix it in little water and keep aside)
7) Bread crumb (to coat the chops, pour in a plate and keep aside)
8) Salt , pepper to taste
9) Garam masala – 1 tsp
10) Sooji, Rawa – 1 tsp (mix with the bread crumbs)
Process
1) Take a pan/kadai and heat some oil
2) Add the cut onions and fry them for 2 mins till they are golden brown
3) Add the ginger garlic paste and fry for another minute.
4) Add the beetroot and cook it till they are tender for around 4-5 mins
5) Then add the peas and add salt,pepper,garam masala and cook for another 2-3 mins
6) Switch of the gas
7) Take a bowl and add the boiled potatoes, the mixture we made and kept (by following above steps).
8) Mash and mix everything nicely so that there are no lumps of potato
9) Make balls of the mixture and press it slightly so that they are little elongated (see the shape in pic)
10) Dip the chop in cornflour and water so that it is coated evenly.
11) Roll the chop in bread crumb so that it is nicely coated from all sides.
12) Take a kadai/pan and heat some oil (depends if you want to shallow or deep fry, I did shallow frying so will mention that)
13) Once the oil is heated, place the chops in pan and cook for sometime in medium heat. Roll it from time to time so that it gets cooked evenly throughout.
So your vegetable chop is ready. Try it and let me know how you liked it… What’s your fav street food from back home???
