Veg Chop

**Veg Chop** is a popular street food delicacy from Eastern India, particularly in Bengal. These are deep-fried croquettes made from mashed vegetables like boiled potatoes, carrots, beets, and peas, combined with a blend of aromatic spices.  

The mixture is shaped into oval or round patties, coated with breadcrumbs, and fried until golden and crispy. The beetroot gives Veg Chop its signature reddish hue, while the spices like ginger, green chilies, and garam masala provide a delightful kick.  

It’s typically served hot with a side of tangy tamarind chutney, mustard sauce (kasundi), or simply paired with tea as a perfect snack for a rainy evening or festive gatherings
