Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 8 Bread slices
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
- 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 cups, for deep frying Oil
Instructions
Boil the potatoes in a pot of water until tender. Once cooled, peel and mash the potatoes in a bowl.
To the mashed potatoes, add salt (0.5 teaspoon), chaat masala, red chili powder (0.25 teaspoon), chopped green chili, grated ginger, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix thoroughly to combine the ingredients.
Take a slice of bread and spread a generous portion of the potato mixture evenly on it. Place another slice of bread on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and potato mixture.
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, turmeric powder, remaining red chili powder, carom seeds, and the other half teaspoon of salt. Gradually add water, stirring continuously, to form a smooth batter without lumps.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Dip each prepared sandwich into the chickpea flour batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Carefully place the coated sandwich into the hot oil. Fry until both sides are golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes per side.
Remove the pakora from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Cut the bread pakoras in halves or quarters and serve hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
