Alo-Chop is recreated using a batter of Urad-dal which is known as Biri-chop in Odisha. F2F Uddina vada batter is fresh and tastes so much better than regular batter. I have prepared mini fritters using this fresh batter which is a crowd-pleaser snack. Perfect for brunch too.
In a pan heat 2 tbsp oil. Add mustard seed and let it sputter. Add chopped onion,chopped green chili and fry for a minute.
Add garlic paste and fry at medium flame.Add mashed boiled potato,cumin powder and mix well. Cook for a minute stirring continuously.Cool this mixture. Make lemon sized small balls using this mixture.
Take F2F Uddina vada batter in a bowl. Add chopped curry leaves and salt .Mix well.
Heat oil in a kadai for frying the fritters.Dip one potato ball in urad dal batter and put into the hot oil. Repeat this process with all potato balls.Fry for 2 to 3 minute at medium flame until they are light brown.
