Instructions
Prepare the Potato Filling
- Heat oil in a pan. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté until the raw smell disappears.
- Add cumin seeds, coriander powder, chili powder, and garam masala. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the mashed potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, mixing well.
- Season with salt and mix thoroughly.
- Incorporate the chopped coriander leaves and mix well. Set aside to cool.
Make the Batter
- In a bowl, combine the gram flour, salt, and water. Mix until a thick batter forms. Adjust water as needed to reach desired consistency.
Fry the Aloo Chop
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or kadai for deep frying.
- Divide the cooled potato mixture into equal portions. Shape them into round patties or desired shapes.
- Dip each potato patty into the gram flour batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered patties into the hot oil. Fry until they turn light golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Remove the fried Aloo Chop from the oil and place them on a plate lined with absorbent paper to drain excess oil.
Serve
- Serve the hot and crispy Aloo Chop with your favorite chutney or sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Aloo Chop
- For extra crispy fritters, ensure the potato mixture is completely cool before shaping and frying.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred spice level.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying. Fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
- For a healthier option, you can shallow fry the Aloo Chop instead of deep frying. Use a little less oil and fry over medium heat, turning frequently.
