Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Bread slices
- 1.5 cups Chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Ginger paste
- 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander, chopped
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Start by cutting each bread slice into halves, creating triangular pieces. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, ground cumin, carom seeds, salt, and baking soda.
Add water gradually to the dry mix, stirring continuously, until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. The batter should have a slightly thick consistency.
Incorporate ginger paste, finely chopped green chilies, and chopped coriander into the batter and mix well.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or kadhai over medium heat.
While the oil is heating, dip a piece of bread into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated on all sides.
Carefully place the batter-coated bread into the hot oil. Fry a few pieces at a time, but do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until the pakora turns golden brown and crispy.
Remove the bread pakoras using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
Serve the dairy-free bread pakoras hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
