Tips & Secrets
- Using crushed roasted peanuts is the absolute secret to achieving a textural contrast in Aloo Chop.
- Ensuring the potato mixture is dry and non-sticky is mandatory for a firm and non-oily result.
- Add a pinch of baking soda to the batter if a more puffy and light crust is desired.
- Always fry on medium-high heat; low heat will make the potato-based patties absorb too much oil.
