Vegetable Chop



Last month due to excessive heat all schools around the state was closed. it was then I made several snacks with our evening tea:Paneer Pakora, Momos,Sanwiches,Fish Egg pakor,Keema cutlet and so on.... Fish Egg Pakora is made out of fish eggs which we call 'Maancher Dimer Bora' in Bengali which is served with lunch n dinner too.Paneer Pakora and keema sandwich also turned out well. Tried my hand out with Tibetan Momos too . The unexpected holidays were a fun!I made some Vegetable Chop one day which turned out pretty tasty according to my family.It is a very popular snack in Bengal.Here goes the recipe for Vegetable chop but first the picture:
