Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 8 pieces Bread slices
- 1.5 cups Gram flour (besan)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 finely chopped Green chilies
- 1 inch, grated Ginger
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
- 2 cups (for frying) Oil
- as needed Water
Instructions
Boil the potatoes until soft. Peel and mash them in a large bowl.
To the mashed potatoes, add chopped green chilies, grated ginger, coriander leaves, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and mix well.
In another bowl, sift together gram flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, asafoetida, cumin seeds, and the remaining salt.
Gradually add water to the gram flour mixture to make a thick, smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat for frying.
Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the potato mixture on one slice. Top with the other bread slice to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining bread slices and potato filling.
Cut each sandwich diagonally to form two triangles.
Dip each triangle in the gram flour batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Carefully slide the batter-coated sandwich into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the pakora from the oil and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper towels.
Serve the aloo bread pakoras hot with mint chutney or ketchup.
