!! Alu'r Chop !!


Today each and everyone loves to eat burgers, noodles, pastry, pizzas..But truly speaking as a child brought up outside city..in d suburbs  they were very unknown to me..After coming back from tuition classes in the evening we had a gala time with everyone @home..Mom used to prepare what we call “jhal-muri”..And my dad used to bring variety of fried snacks from our ”para’s dokan”… & they were very tasty…& goes fab with masala muri. In a rainy evening it’s also a great combo to enjoy.But those days come very rare…Now I’m far away from home…in the land of burgers & pizzas..But my dear Kitchen & my cooking spirit has always helped me ... :)

An evening I prepared my favorite evening snack- “alu- r chop   (potato snack) “ .It was just awesome…& both of us had a wonderful time with munchies combo ~ muri, alu chop & tea… & I felt too good when it tasted similar to that of our para’s dokan… It is a pure veg appetizer. So, friends you can also try them @  ur kitchen & njoy ur evening time..:))

To enhance the taste of the filling: you need to heat 1 tsp of oil in a frying pan add a pinch of cumin seeds & when it splatters add the above filling and shallow fry it.
4) Cut out a portion of the filling and make a flat round shape by your hand. Dip them into dry besan and keep aside for 5 min to absorb excess oil from them.
