Bread Pakora

Ingredients

  • oil to fry bread sliced

Batter

  • 1 cup besan gram flour
  • 1/3 tsp garlic minced
  • 3/4 tsp ajwain carom seeds
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 cup water

Optional Stuffing

  • 1 large potato boiled and mashed
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp sukha dhaniya dry coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp chaat masala

Instructions

  • Combine batter ingredients and mix well. Ensure no lumps remain.
  • If you're making a stuffed bread pakora, mix together stuffing ingredients. Sandwich some filling between two slices of bread.
  • Heat up a kadai or wok with frying oil on medium-high.
  • Dunk bread into the batter to coat on all sides. If making plain bread pakora, dunk a slice of bread. If making stuffed bread pakora, dunk the sandwiches from the previous step.
  • Once the bread is coated, carefully drop it into the hot frying oil.
  • Allow the bottom side to cook, then flip the pakora to cook the other side as well.
  • Once the pakora is golden brown and cooked through, take it out of the kadai and place on a paper towel-lined plate to allow any remaining oil to come off.
  • Garnish with chaat masala and eat as is or with the chutney or sauce of your choice!
