Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole grain bread slices
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 cup Paneer, crumbled
- 1 cup Fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 pieces Green chillies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
- 0.75 cup Water
- for frying Oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Gradually add water and mix well to form a smooth, thick batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
Add the chopped spinach, crumbled paneer, green chillies, ginger paste, and coriander leaves into the batter. Mix thoroughly so all ingredients are well incorporated.
Cut each bread slice diagonally to form two triangles. You should have a total of 8 triangles from 4 slices.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Dip each bread triangle into the batter, ensuring it is coated evenly and generously.
Carefully place the coated bread triangles into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until they are crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the bread pakodas from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the hot High Protein Bread Pakoda with mint chutney or tomato ketchup.
