Aloo Chop

🇮🇳 Indian

Odisha's aloo chop, spiced potato discs in a deep-fried shell. Craggy, crisp and impossible to eat just one of. Serve with mint or tamarind chutney and masala chai.

Prep 24 min Cook 24 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely sliced
  • Green Chili2
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Vegetable Oilfor deep frying
  • Potato3 medium, cubed
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Ajwain1/2 tsp
  • Rice Flour2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the potato into a seasoned batter with the gram flour, resting it ten minutes so the flours hydrate.

  2. 2

    Get the oil shimmering but not smoking; steady medium-high is the fritter zone.

  3. 3

    Slide the batter in with two spoons — rough, craggy shapes fry crispest.

  4. 4

    Fry till deep gold, flipping once, then lift out and drain on a rack — paper towels steam the bottoms soft.

  5. 5

    Eat immediately — a fritter's glory is measured in minutes.

Chef's tip

Baking soda gives a puff — use a pinch, no more.
