Bread Pakora Recipe
Bread pakora is a yummy quick snack that can be made from fresh or left over bread. This can be best enjoyed at tea time just like any other pakora.
Ingredients
- Bread - 3 slices
- Potatoes - 2-3 medium sized, boiled and peeled
- Salt - To taste
- Red chili powder - By Taste
- Gram flour (besan) - 1 & 1/2 cups
- Rice flour - 1 & 1/2 tbsp
- Carom seeds (ajwain) - 1/2 tsp
- Bicarobonate of soda - 1/4 tsp
- Oil - For frying
- Turmeric Powder (Optional) - 1/4 tsp
Instructions
- Cut each slice of bread diagonally to make 4 triangular pieces.
- Add salt and red chili powder to the potatoes, mash them and mix nicely.
- Spread an even layer (a few mm thick) of the mashed potatoes, on one side of each triangular piece of bread.
- Mix gram flour with rice flour. Add salt, turmeric powder (optional), carom seeds (ajwain), and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
- Add water and mix well, breaking all lumps, to make a thick batter. I used about 1 cup of water. The batter should be thick yet runny. Stir well in a uniform, rapid and circular motion for few seconds and keep aside.
- Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.
- Dip one piece of the bread into the batter so that the batter coats the slice evenly on all sides. Carefully release the bread into the oil and fry till both sides are golden. Repeat for all bread pieces. Remove on a paper towel.
- Sprinkle some 'chaat masala' and serve hot with ketchup.
