A very tasty snack,which is a must have while visiting Kolkata :) It tastes a little sweet due to the presence of beetroots. Very simple recipe.
Ingredients :
Carrots : 3
Beetroot : 2
Potato : 2 (medium)
Ginger paste : 2 tablespoons
Salt: to taste
Sugar: 1 teaspoon

Jeera (cumin) powder : 1 tablespoon
Dhania (coriander ) powder : 1 tablespoon

Besan (gram flour): 2 tablespoons (dry roasted)
Dry roast and grind:
Peanuts : Half cup
( grind coarsely )
For coating :
Besan (gram flour) : 1 cup
Bread crumb : 2 cups
Method :
- Peel and chop the vegetables in to cubes and pressure cook them. Drain the water and keep the vegetables aside till they cool down.
- Now, mash all the vegetables with hand or a potato masher. The mixture doesn't have to be very smooth. In fact,you should feel the vegetables while biting on the chops. Add salt and sugar and mix.
- Now heat 2 tablespoons of oil.Add the whole jeera and let it splutter a bit. Now add the mashed vegetable mix. Add the spices....jeera,dhania,chilli powder and garam masala powder. Mix well and keep cooking on medium flame ,till the water in the mixture dries up.Now,add the roasted besan,mix well and take the pan down. let it cool.
- When it cools down completely,mix the peanuts.
- Make a thick batter of the besan (gramflour) adding very less water.
- Pour the bread crumb on a plate.
- Heat oil in a pan for frying.
- Make chops out of the vegetable mixture,give them shape of your choice,dip them in the besan batter and then roll them on bread crumb and deep fry. As the vegetables are pre cooked,it wouldn't take too long .
- Serve hot with any sauce . :D
