Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bread slices
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Besan (chickpea flour)
- 0.75 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 500 ml Oil for frying
Instructions
Boil the potatoes until they are soft. Peel and mash them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the green chilies and coriander leaves. Peel and grate the ginger.
Add chopped green chilies, coriander leaves, grated ginger, cumin seeds, chaat masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and half a teaspoon of salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to create the filling.
Cut each bread slice diagonally to form triangular halves.
Place a spoonful of the potato filling between two triangular bread pieces, pressing them gently to form a sandwich. Repeat this for all slices.
In a separate bowl, mix besan, the remaining salt, and baking soda.
Gradually add water to the besan mixture, stirring constantly, until it forms a smooth, thick batter.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Dip each stuffed bread sandwich into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Carefully place the coated sandwich into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning occasionally.
Remove fried pakodas with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.
