SLC30-W1 | “Potato Magic Challenge” : Potato Snack / Potato chop

Dear friends, I hope you are all well. Alhamdulillah, I am also very well. I am here again with a new post. This is to participate in the first week of the STEAM Blog Learning Challenge 30 competition. I have come here. Thank you very much @bdwomen. For making a Bengali dish. This is the first time you have been given this opportunity. So that we can present such a dish to everyone.

We Bengalis usually prepare many types of food. And especially potato chops are very good to eat. To make these potato chops, you must first boil a large amount of potatoes. If there is a lot of light, then cut them with a knife. Then boil them. This way the potatoes are cooked very well. When the potatoes are cooked, you have to wait for some time to cool down a little from the heat.

Since we will make potato chops. Now what we need to do is after the potatoes have cooled down from the heat. We will throw the skins on the potatoes and then we will mash the potatoes with our hands to make potato stuffing. To make this potato stuffing, we will need to give the ingredients. Fried dry chilies, salt, oil, onion. Here I have shared the pictures with you step by step on how to make that potato stuffing. After making the potato stuffing, we will have to make such chops by making a round shape with the help of hand gestures.

🥔 List of ingredients for making potato chops

Serial	Name of ingredient	Quantity
1	Potato	2–t
2	Gram flour	1 cup
3	Turmeric powder	1 teaspoon
4	Chili powder	1 teaspoon
5	Salt	To taste
6	Chopped onion	As much
7	Chopped green chili	2–3
8	Chopped coriander	A little
9	Cooking oil	For frying
10	Water	As needed

Our potato stuffing process is over. Then we have made the potato stuffing in a very nice round shape, the size of a chop, now all we have to do is dip it in the besan and then we will release it in the oil. Now you can see that I have added many more ingredients to this besan. Whichever ingredients are needed, I have definitely given you all of them here, chili powder, turmeric, salt, spices. After adding everything, but with the help of hand gestures, it was mixed very nicely. This is very good for all the spices to come together.

After mixing the gram flour with the spices, now you have to prepare it by leaving it in the oil and thinking about it, but before that, you have to heat the oil in the pan by lighting the stove for two to three minutes. When the oil was hot, but after dipping the chopped potatoes in the gram flour, I left it in the oil. I have uploaded the pictures to show you step by step. You have to turn it over with a utensil because the chopped potatoes have to be cooked very well on both sides, so that it will be crispy. If the oil is very hot, then this job does not take much time. These surprises happened in a very short time, then after preparing it, we were ready to prepare the food. I prepared this food very beautifully, I even took a selfie with this food.

To participate in this challenge. I will invite my friends. I hope they will definitely participate in this invitation. And present such a beautiful Bengali food to everyone. This will be promoted to everyone. @sushanta83 @nurullah96 @shimulakter
