Alur Chop / Potato Fritter –Two types

Alur chop / potato fritter is a simple delicious snack. We make it several ways with stuffing of egg or prawn / without stuffing and dip in besan(chickpeas flour) \ dip in egg and roll in bread crumb (too many twists). The interesting fact is the taste of different types of Alur chop / potato fritter so different. It even differs on uses of dry chilli and green chilli or fried onion or fresh onion. I will give two ways of simple Alur chop / potato fritter recipes today.

N/b I have a small request that I made all my recipes and photos with hard work, love and dedication for Bangladeshi food. Feel free to share it but don’t forget to mention the name of my website. Thanks.
