Potato Chops with Vegetable Filling

 Vegetable Filling:

1 chopped onion and tomato, and two cups of finely chopped raw vegetables like carrots, peas, french beans, cauliflower, etc. 1/2 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste,1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, a handful of chopped nuts and raisins, half a teaspoon of gharam masala powder, Salt o taste.

Heat oil in a pan and add ginger-garlic paste. After couple of minutes add the chopped onion and tomato. Fry for about five minutes and then add the chopped vegetables. When the vegetables are done(not too soft) add the gharam masala powder(optional), black pepper powder(optional) and salt as per your taste. Finally add the  chopped nuts and raisins.  Cook for a couple of minutes and then 

turn off the flame.

To Make the Vegetable Chops: Take sufficient amount of mashed potato to form a ball(about 3 inches in diameter). Make a small well in centre of the ball and fill with the prepared vegetable filling. Fold over the potato to close the well. Then flatten the potato ball( just a little bit to form a flat round in the centre) on a wooden board dusted with flour and fry. When one side is brown turn the chop over in the pan and fry till both sides are brown. 

Serve with tomato ketchup and fresh coconut or tamarind chutney.
