Bread Pakora Recipe

Bread Pakora is a classic Indian street snack that’s crispy on the outside and soft and spicy inside. It’s made by stuffing bread slices with a spiced mashed potato filling, dipping them in gram flour batter, and deep-frying to golden perfection. Super satisfying and perfect for the monsoon season!

🧂 Ingredients:

For Stuffing:

• Boiled potatoes – 3 medium (mashed)

• Green chili – 1 finely chopped

• Ginger – ½ tsp grated

• Red chili powder – ½ tsp

• Turmeric – ¼ tsp

• Garam masala – ½ tsp

• Amchur (dry mango powder) – ½ tsp

• Salt – to taste

• Fresh coriander – chopped

For Batter:

• Gram flour (besan) – 1 cup

• Carom seeds (ajwain) – ¼ tsp

• Red chili powder – ½ tsp

• Turmeric – a pinch

• Salt – to taste

• Water – to make thick batter

Others:

• Bread slices – 4 (white or brown)

• Oil – for deep frying

🍽️ How to Make:

1. Make the Stuffing:

In a bowl, mix mashed potatoes with green chili, ginger, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, amchur, salt, and chopped coriander.

2. Prepare the Batter:

In another bowl, mix gram flour, ajwain, salt, turmeric, red chili powder, and water to make a smooth, thick batter (not too runny).

3. Assemble the Pakora:

Take a bread slice, spread the potato stuffing evenly. Place another slice on top like a sandwich. Cut it diagonally into two triangles.

4. Coat and Fry:

Dip each stuffed triangle in the besan batter, coat it well, and deep fry in hot oil on medium heat until golden and crispy.

5. Serve Hot:

Serve your bread pakoras hot with green chutney or ketchup and a cup of masala chai!

💡 Tips:

You can also add grated cheese to the stuffing for a cheesy twist.

Use fresh soft bread for best results.

Don't fry on very high heat – it will brown outside but stay raw inside.🧀😋😊
