Okay folks, would you believe if I told you these pics have been sitting in my laptop for over a year now! My Mum in law prepared these Goan egg chops during her stay with us. I don’t know how, but I completely forgot to share it here and it got lost in the barrage of folders of millions of food pics. Okay, I’m exaggerating, but you get the point of the pics 😀 We click hundreds only to select 3-4 perhaps! The life of a food blogger!
HOW TO MAKE EGG CHOPS?
To make these Goan egg chops, you will need 3 elements,
Egg, but of course, right! Mashed potatoes Spicy, green chutney made with cilantro (coriander leaves), green chillies, ginger, and garlic.
If you are making it for kids, omit the green chillies. You can in-fact top it with your go-to green chutney. That reminds me I have to also share my Mom’s green chutney with you guys! It is the best I’ve ever had, and no I’m not being boastful! I will definitely share that in my coming posts, so stay tuned. These egg chops make for a delicious evening snack or an after-school snack. My son loves eggs in all form, so he happily enjoys these 🙂 And I’m sure you guys will enjoy these simple yet delicious egg chops as much!
I’ve used whole wheat panko breadcrumbs for coating the chops, I love how crispy the end product turns out. However, you may use semolina too if you can’t find panko breadcrumbs. Shallow frying makes this a rather healthy egg snack, you may choose to deep fry if you wish to. So I’ll wind up this post with the recipe below, which frankly isn’t really much. Hope you give it a try! p.s. if you dislike cilantro, substitute with parsley or any condiment you’d fancy! Or skip this chutney all together and use your favorite chutney or relish and enjoy it further by dipping it in your favorite sauce or the trusty ‘ol ketchup 😀

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE POTATO EGG CHOPS, GOAN STYLE
1.Add cilantro, ginger, garlic, green chillies & sugar to a blender, add about a tablespoon of water, make a smooth and thick paste. Transfer to a bowl, add salt to taste, mix well.
2.Make a smooth dough of the mashed/shredded boiled potatoes, divide it into 8 equal portions.
3.Take a potato ball, make a cavity, place one-half egg in the cavity. Top it with some green chutney.
4.Seal the edges of the potato dough to enclose the egg well. Roll it in semolina/breadcrumbs. Prepare all the chops in the same way. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, so that they firm a bit, which makes for easier frying without breaking apart.
5.Heat oil in a skillet, shallow fry on medium heat until the chops are golden brown from all sides. Serve hot with cilantro chutney or ketchup.
