Assalamu'alaikum everyone.
I am @bimanakhan from #Bangladesh

Hello friends,

On Steemit, we don't just share our thoughts, feelings, or stories from our daily lives; we also share our favorite activities, experiences, and intimate home moments with one another. And when a beautiful, creative task like cooking is done by hand, it becomes infused with a great deal of love and joy.

Today, I am sharing a recipe for delicious and crispy Aloo Chop that I prepared myself. I made these fritters using very simple ingredients. I am sharing the entire process step-by-step so that you, too, can easily make them at home.

To me, cooking is not merely a way to prepare food; it is a wonderful opportunity to create something with my own hands and share the joy with my family. That is why every step of this cooking process was a delightful experience for me.


Required Ingredients

To make the Aloo Chop, I used—

  • Potatoes — 4
  • Gram flour (Besan)
  • Rice flour
  • Chopped onions
  • Fried dried red chilies
  • Salt
  • Turmeric powder
  • Baking powder
  • Coriander powder
  • Cumin powder
  • Ginger paste
  • Chopped coriander leaves
  • Water (as needed)
  • Oil for frying (as needed)

Step-by-Step Process for Making Aloo Chop

Step 1:

First, I thoroughly peeled the four potatoes. Then, I cut them in half to ensure they would boil quickly and evenly. I placed the cut potatoes in a pot, added the required amount of water, and set them on the stove to boil until tender. Once the potatoes were soft and fully cooked, I removed them from the heat and let them cool down a bit.

Step 2:

Next, I placed the gram flour, rice flour, and all the other ingredients intended for the batter into a clean mixing bowl. I mixed everything well using a hand whisk. Then, I gradually added water while mixing continuously until I achieved a thick, smooth batter.

Step 3:

Next, I thoroughly mashed the previously boiled potatoes. To the mashed potatoes, I added chopped onions, roasted dried red chilies, salt, turmeric powder, and baking powder. I also added coriander powder, cumin powder, ginger paste, and chopped coriander leaves, then mixed everything together well.

Step 4:

Then, I took a portion of the potato mixture and rolled it into a ball in my hands. I gently pressed it flat to shape it into a nice potato chop. Repeating this process, I gradually shaped the entire potato mixture into individual potato chops.

Step 5:

Next, I dipped a potato chop into the thick batter prepared earlier and coated one side thoroughly.
Then, I flipped the chop over and coated the other side well with the batter.

Step 6:

Now, I placed a pan on the stove, added the required amount of oil, and heated it well. Once the oil was hot, I carefully placed one potato chop into it. Then, I added three more chops one by one. When one side was nicely fried, I carefully flipped them over and fried the other side thoroughly.

Step 7:

Once the potato chops were fried to perfection, I removed them from the oil using a slotted spoon. I placed them on a sheet of tissue paper to absorb any excess oil. I fried the remaining chops in the same manner, removing them with the slotted spoon and placing them on the tissue paper.

Step 8:

After frying all the potato chops, I arranged them neatly on a nice plate. The golden-hued chops looked beautiful on the plate; they were perfectly ready to be served.

Step 9:

To make the chops look even more appealing, I sliced an onion into rounds. Then, I neatly placed the onion rings on top of the potato chops. Finally, I garnished them by sprinkling some chopped coriander leaves over the top. The onion rings and green coriander leaves made the golden-hued potato chops look even more attractive.

📸❤️ Final Step:

To wrap things up, I took a selfie with the delicious potato chops I had prepared.
There is a unique joy in preparing a dish with your own hands, plating it beautifully, and capturing a photo with it. Just as I enjoyed the cooking process, this final little moment brought me great happiness as well.

Hi @bimanakhan

Assalamu Alaikum, how are you? Hope you are well I came across your post and saw you made a lovely recipe. It all looked great and probably tasted a lot better too. But as an improver, I give you some more suggestions, through which you can fill your post with better quality

  • You can use some more tags in your post which are very important for your post, Like #recipe #food itc

  • We don't know how much it might cost to build. It would be better if you mentioned in the post how much money can be as steem

Good luck to you

Walaikum Assalam. I hope you are doing well too. Sincere thanks for taking the time to read my post and for sharing your valuable feedback and suggestions so beautifully. Your words are truly important to me. I will certainly keep in mind the suggestion regarding the use of relevant tags. Additionally, in future recipe posts, I will try to mention the estimated cost of ingredients or the total amount of STEEM spent. These suggestions of yours will help make my posts more informative and of higher quality.
