In Bengali, chop defines the food culture of the state. Chop, along with chai, makes a quintessential evening snack for every local in the state. It is basically an oily and greasy street food, made with various veg and non-veg ingredients. If you ever visit Bengal or the Bengali society in your city, you will find different types of chops with different recipe, taste, texture and shapes. While some are super crunchy and made by dipping the ingredient in besan batter, others have a spicy filling stuffed inside. Whatever it is, every type of chop offers a burst of flavours for our palate. And trust us, you can’t stop having just one!
