Helencha Spinach Benefits: Vendor Haradhan Mondal has made this chop from Goght in Hooghly district. This Helencha leaf chop is full of health benefits and delicious.
Goghat: According to the traditional rule of Bengal, once boiled helencha or hinche-potatoes are mashed, green vegetables or sometimes lejud utche and beuli dal are stirred with gourds. How many times the eyes-waters-nose-waters had to be faced with all those horrors while sitting at home with everyone, is not counted. Is it a matter of licks to cross the neck of the bitter post of the Hinche?
But now chops or pakoras are being made from these vegetables. The demand for Hinchey Chop is higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Seller Haradhan Mandal has responded by making this chop of Goght in Hooghly district. This helencha leaf chop is full of health benefits and delicious. It is known that in addition to helencha vegetables, flour, rice powder, ginger paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder and chili powder are needed to make chop. This delicious chop is made by kneading all together and frying in hot oil. Haradhan Babu’s shop was thronged by customers before he could make chops of helencha leaves for just 5 rupees.
Mention, the many benefits of this vegetable also increases the amount of hemoglobin in the blood if consumed regularly. Besides, the herbal treatment of constipation, asthma, diarrhea and nervous diseases is a combination of Helencha leaves. Haradhan Babu is selling this helencha leaf pakora for just five rupees. In this regard, Haradhan Babu said, “Many people are gathering in the shop before evening. Helencha leaves are very useful in this summer. Therefore, they have been selling chops with these Helencha leaves, which are full of health benefits, for two years.”
Not available in any other stores around. He collected these Helencha leaves from different villages. On the other hand, one customer said, “Helencha pata rice is as bad as it is a great chop test.” Customers come to the store again and again after playing the very tasty chop.
