vegetable chop recipe | veg chop recipe | bengali veg cutlet recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. cutlet recipes are very common across india and are generally prepared with either combination of veggies or meat. the bengali cuisine has its own variation and it is referred as vegetable chop recipe. it is prepared with a combination of veggies, but beetroot has significant importance.

as i mentioned earlier, it has striking similarities with the indian veg cutlet recipe. but vegetable chop recipe has a lot of difference with the ingredients list and the way the cutlet is prepared and shaped. the first and visible difference is the usage of boiled beetroot, which not only gives a dark red colour but also flavour and sweetness to this snack. in addition, the crushed peanuts or ground nuts are mixed with the vegetable mixture before shaping and deep frying. adding peanuts gives it a crunchy texture and taste to it, and eventually improving the eating experience. further, the coating is always done with bread crumbs as compared to cutlet recipe which can also be done via crushed corn flakes or even semolina.

furthermore, some easy and important tips and suggestions for a perfect vegetable chop recipe. firstly, and i strongly recommend to mash the veggies like beetroot, carrot and potatoes once they are boiled completely. do not add any water to veggies while pressure cooking/steaming, else they tend to absorb water and turn vegetable mix mushy. secondly, once the vegetable mixture is shaped, it is generally washed with cornflour + plain flour coating with an egg wash. as i do not have egg in my recipes, and hence i have not used in this recipe. but if you are ok with egg wash, then please go ahead with it. lastly, the cutlet can also be shallow fried and pan fried as an alternative to deep frying. in addition, it can also be baked at 180 degree celcius for 15 minutes or until it turns crisp.
