Chops is a cutlet-like snack that is very popular in Bengal. This is a healthy, vegetarian version of this evergreen snack, made with a medley of yummy veggies like potatoes, beetroot and carrots perked up with onions and spices to make it super tasty!

Here, we have made the Bengali Style Veg Chops healthy by cooking it on a tava instead of deep-frying in the usual way. If you take care and cook it on a slow flame as mentioned in the recipe, you will land up with amazingly tasty chops, just like the original!

Too good! The best health recipe I have ever tasted at just 13 calories per chop. I wasn''t sure if 12 chops could be cooked in just 1 tsp of oil. But to my surprise they turned out to be extremely delicious. Tx for this recipe.
