Kheerer Chop / Khirer Chop – Indian Milk Sweet Recipes

Kheerer Chop or Khirer chop is a Bengali delicacy. There are so many chop recipes in Bengal cuisine and most of them savoury cutlets. When I saw chop in sweets, I was tempted to try. But when I saw the recipe, it was so much like Kheerer Shingara I made earlier, but still the shape decides the name. So I tried it.This was one of the six dishes I made on a single day. I had the filling made two days earlier and the dough I made was perfect to make three dishes that day. I also made the sugar syrup in a large pan so that I could dip all the sweets in it. It worked out well.

This chop has a crispy outer covering ad a delicious rich mawa filling inside. As the outer covering is not sweetened, the whole sweet is dipped in sugar syrup to give the sweetness. I loved the way it turned out. There is one more sweet made in the same method, again the shape is different and so the name is different. Khirer Kochuri is made the same way. While the chops are round in shape the kochuris are flat. After shaping the chops, just flatten the dough before deep frying and you have made kochuris. I first planned on making it, but they were too similar, so skipped them. Let me make it some other day. Let us move on to the recipe.
