Egg & Chutney Potato Chop Recipe

Method for making the Chutney

• In a small mixer grinder, add all the ingredients except the water and coconut
  
• Make a fine paste out the ingredients added. If it's not rotating, in the mixer add 1 tbspn water, just for the paste to have some liquid to rotate in the mixer
  
• Once the paste is formed, add the scraped coconut and grind to a fine paste.
  

  Note:-

  The consistency SHOULD NOT be like that of a Curry masala. it should be more firm
• Check for salt, sugar and vinegar/tamarind.
  
• If required, add it as per your taste and rotate till it has blended well with all the other ingredients. Rotate till done 
  
• And Tadaaaaa.... your Green Goan Chutney is ready!! 
  
  
• Empty the chutney in a bowl and keep aside 
  

Method for making the outer covering

• Peel and Wash the potatoes thoroughly
• Cut them into 8 pieces and place them in a cooker.
• Add  1 cup water and salt into the cooker. Mix it well with the potatoes
• Close the cooker and place it on medium flame
• Give it two whistles and turn off the flame
• Wait till all the heat has been released from the cooker and only then open the cooker
• Check if the potatoes have turned soft. If they are still hard, give it another whistle on low flame
• If they have turned soft, drain out all the water from the cooker and empty the potatoes on a flat plate
• You have to mash the potatoes when hot. For mashing, take a potato masher or a fork and mash the potatoes well. Ensure there are no lumps.
• Once mashed, keep aside

Now We'll boil the Eggs

• Take a vessel, add about 4 cups of water to it and place it on high flame
• Once the Water starts boiling, Add the eggs to it
• After 20 minutes, turn the flame off and remove the eggs
• Once it's cool to touch, peel the eggs and cut them into two halves and keep aside

  Note:-

  You can cut them into 4(four) quarters as well if you wish to make smaller potato chops
  

Things to keep ready before shaping the Potato Chops

• A bowl of Chutney with a spoon in it
• Mashed Potatoes
• Boiled eggs cut into halves or quarters
• A bowl of Bread Crumbs
• A bowl or plate with 2 tbsp oil for greasing your palms
• A bowl of beaten Egg for coating the chops
• 2-3 Big Trays or plates for placing the potato chops
  

Method for making the chops

• Make balls (approx 40-45 gms each) of the mashed potatoes
  
• Lightly Grease both your palms with oil
  
• Take one ball of mashed potatoes and lightly spread and flatten it on your palm
  
• Apply 1 tspn chutney on the flattened mashed potato, spread the chutney and place 1 half or quarter(whichever you're using) of the egg on top of the chutney. Leave about 1/2 inch space on the edges
  
  
• Very gently, Bring all the sides of the potatoes together and close the ball to form an oval shape just like that of an egg
  
  
• Place it on a large tray
• Follow these steps till all the eggs are used
  
• Take each Ball, lightly coat the entire outer layer with beaten egg and apply bread crumbs to the entire ball and place it on a tray
  
• Follow the same steps for all the chops
  
• Once done, in a Kadai, Add 500 ml Oil and place the Kadai on Medium high flame 
  
• Once the oil is nice and hot, Add two Potato chops at a time(if your kadai is small or add 4 at a time if your kadai is big) and deep fry

  Note:-

  If you add too many chops at a time while frying, there is a high possibility that the oil may not remain as hot as required and this will cause the chops to break
  
• Deep Fry the chops till it gets a nice brown colour. But don't over fry them or else it will taste bitter and burnt.
  
• Once ready, place them on a kitchen paper towel to drain out any excess oil
  
• Serve Hot with some ketchup or just enjoy it as it is!! 🙂 🙂
