Kolkata Special Vegetable Chop | Vegetable Cutlet | Vegetable Fritters | Poulami Chatterjee

Kolkata Special Vegetable chop is a very popular street food in Bengal. The main ingredients for these chops are beetroot, carrot, peanuts and the special Bengali bhaja masala. Bengali style vegetable chop is very different in taste as compared to regular vegetable cutlet or vegetable fritters, mainly because of the addition of our special bhaja masala (roasted spices). I don’t like peanuts, so I didn't add them in my recipe. But adding peanuts give a nice crunchy texture to the chop. If you want an authentic Kolkata style vegetable chop then adding peanuts is a must.
