Goan Peas Potato Chop

Vegetarian Goan Peas Potato Chop!

I am very happy to share Goan Peas Potato Chop with everyone. Usually chops are very famous in Goa mostly minced meat is added as a filling in the chop. I am sharing a vegan and vegetarian version which consist of green peas as the filling. This chop is crispy, delicious, healthy and shallow fried which makes it guilt free ;) My hubby loves chops be it veg Or non veg he ate almost all of them in a few minutes everything was vanished ha ha.

Actually there are lot of variations to make Goan Peas Potato Chop. Some people add french beans, tomatoes, some dip the chops into egg batter and deep fry. Some people add bread crumbs and meat to the chops. I have used the vegan version and slightly modified the recipe. I have added pav bhaji masala and some cheese to it to for making them super yum.

Green Peas are high in fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, and lutein. Green peas are loaded with antioxidants, helps in regulating blood in body, great for heart care. So do include green peas in your diet. Just like you I wasn’t a big fan of green peas but now that I know their benefits I have started eating them on a weekly basis.

Yesterday I made Mughlai Naan along with Murg Nawabi. We had a sumptious dinner both dishes turned out yummy. Hmmm my mouth is watering yet. I am gonna explore the Mughali Cuisine a bit more as I love mughlai dishes. Because Mughlai dishes are rice, creamy and delish. So you guys know I would be posting soon some Mughlai Recipes!

Offlate I have started my morning walks after six months of my marriage. Slowly I will start my yoga as I am building up my stamina right now. As I can barely walk just 500 mtr now (: …. so not being lazy. Anyways lets make these yum Goan Peas Potato Chop now else I will go blah and blah!

4. Now add ginger-garlic paste to it. Mix nicely until the raw smell of ginger-garlic vanishes.
5. It’s time to add chopped carrots and tomatoes. saute for 3 to 4 mins.
6. Add pav bhaji masala, garam masala and turmeric powder. Mix all nicely.
7. Put the boiled green peas and salt. Cook until the mixture is dry.
8. Lastly add cheese into it and give a nice stir until cheese blends into the peas mixture.
9. Rub some oil in your palms. Make 14 to 15 equal sized balls. With the help of your finger flatten each ball. Now scoop 1 tbsp filling of peas mixture over it. Bring the edges to the center to cover up the filling.
10. Make a round patty. Repeat the same with rest of the balls. Ensure the filling isn’t too much else the patty might burst.
11. Mix rice flour + semolina on a wide dish. Roll the patty over the flour+semolina mixture. Take a pan add 2 tbsp oil. Place on high heat once oil is hot. Reduce the flame and place the patties over it. Fry few at one time else it will be difficult for you to flip over the patties.
12. Shallow fry them from both sides until golden brown and crisp. Serve hot with tomato sauce and a cup of hot tea

Notes

While stuffing the chop don’t put too much filling else the patty might burst.

Alternatively you could mix the mashed potatoes and green peas mixture together. Form into balls coat them into semolina-flour mixture and then fry. It’s up-to you how you wanna make them.

You could also add french beans, soya bean, paneer any veggies of your choice. Infact fish lovers can add prawns as well.
