The Meat-Stuffed Indian Potato Pancake You Definitely Need To Make
By Grace Allison
Potato chops are meat-stuffed potato pancakes famous in the western Indian state of Goa, traditionally made for weddings or special occasions.
Filled with deliciously spiced ground meat that turns out moist and juicy, these mashed potato cakes are coated with egg and breadcrumbs before being shallow fried.
The spices used in this dish, like earthy turmeric, nutty cumin, warm chili powder, woody ground cinnamon, and sweet cloves, make it unique.
The spices are incorporated into the meat filling alongside sauteed onion, garlic, ginger, and chopped tomatoes to create a tangy and gorgeously delicious mixture.
Potato chops are a flexible dish and can be adapted to accommodate the ingredients available at the time. They can even be vegetarian and pescatarian friendly.
These potato pancakes can easily be enjoyed alone as a snack, but if you're an avid condiment adder, the meaty and warm flavors of these pancakes complement a variety of chutneys.
