Boil potatoes in a pot until they are soft. Once cooked, drain and peel them.
In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Add green chili, grated ginger, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the chopped cilantro into the potato mixture. Set aside.
In another bowl, prepare the batter by combining chickpea flour, water, a pinch of salt, and a little red chili powder (optional) to the desired spice level. Whisk it until smooth and lump-free.
Cut the gluten-free bread slices into halves or leave them whole, based on preference.
Spread an even layer of the potato mixture onto one slice of bread and cover it with another slice, forming a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Carefully dip each stuffed bread sandwich into the chickpea flour batter, ensuring it is well coated on all sides.
Gently slide it into the hot oil and fry until the pakora turns golden brown and crispy, usually around 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the pakoras using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
