Potato Croquette / Aloo Chop

Potato croquettes are fried potato rolls, coated in breadcrumbs, crispy from outside and soft from inside.  In Indian potato croquettes are called aloo chop or potato chop. 

These potato croquettes are actually very easy to make.  You can use your leftover boil potatoes to make it.  You can also add meat, vegetables, cheese or anything of your choice.  The only rule to make these croquettes are that you have to roll croquettes over breadcrumbs and fry in oil.
