Alur Chop/Kolkata style Alur Chop/ Niramish Alur Chop/ Potato Fritters

Alur (Aloo r) Chop is a famous snack of Bengali Cuisine. It is a popular street snacks of Kolkata (Bengal) and
without alur chop & muri (puffed rice) evening gossip is incomplete. As Alu bonda is famous in South India,
similarly Alu r chop is popular in our West Bengal. It is also traditional evening snack of Bengal. I am sharing
the recipe of niramish alu r chop i.e no onion no garlic alu r chop. You can also add chopped onion while
making the stuffing. Preparation of alu r chop is really very easy and need common ingredients readily
available in your kitchen. I served alur chop in a newspaper cover just like  stall-style.
