ANGLO-INDIAN MINCE POTATO CHOPS  / RISSOLES

Mince Potato Chops are not Meat Chops in the strict sense. They are like cutlets but shaped differently ie rectangular or oval shaped instead of round. Lightly Spiced Lamb or Beef Mince is encased in mashed potato and crumb fried.  They can be served as a side dish with steamed rice or they go well with Toast and steamed or saturated vegetables at dinner. They make excellent short eats or snacks. 

Serves 6    Time required: 1 hour

Ingredients

½ kg fine Minced meat either beef, mutton or lamb                   

1 medium sized onion chopped finely    

2 teaspoons ground black pepper / pepper powder
2 teaspoons chopped mint                

Salt to taste

3 tablespoons oil                                   

1 egg beaten

2 tablespoons breadcrumbs                 

3 large potatoes boiled peeled and mashed

Cook the mince with the onions, mint, pepper powder, salt and a little oil in a suitable pan till the mince is dry. Remove from heat and cool for some time.

Form the mashed potatoes into even sized balls. Make a depression in the center and fill with the pepper mince. Flatten each ball to form an oval cutlet. Dip each one in the beaten egg then roll in the breadcrumbs and shallow fry the cutlets on low heat till golden brown on both sides. Serve as a side dish or party snack

LAMB MINCE POTATO CHOPS (PEPPER MINCE AND POTATO CUTLETS)

Lamb / Mutton Mince Potato Chops are not Chops in the literal sense. These wonderful "Oval Shaped" Cutlets are prepared with subtley pepper flavoured lamb / mutton mince encased in a covering of mashed potatoes and crumb fried.

Potato chops are one of the very first innovations of the Khansamas during the Colonial British Era and they have become synonomous with Anglo-Indian Cuisine.

Beef mince could be substituted for Lamb / Mutton Mince.
