How to Make Aloo Chops

  1. Boil the potatoes until tender. Once cool enough to handle, mash them thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chilies, cilantro, ginger, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Form the mixture into small, flat patties (about 2 inches in diameter).
  4. In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs and all-purpose flour.
  5. Coat each patty evenly with the bread crumb mixture.
  6. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  8. Remove the Aloo Chops from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
