Abstract

A market survey carried out in Kolkata (West Bengal) revealed that potato chips, lachha and bhujia are popular in the metropolitan. Besides, a local product called Sangra farari (a mixture of fried potato slices, fried groundnut, fried mungdal and boondia) was found to be very popular. Generally consumers preferred a package size of 500g to 1000g for locally processed potato products.
