Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Leftover bread (any type)
- 1 large Boiled potato
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 small Green chili (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Tear the leftover bread into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the bread pieces and let them soak for 1-2 minutes. Then use your hands to squeeze out excess water and mash the bread until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Peel the boiled potato and mash it into the bread mixture.
Add the finely chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, and grated ginger to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, and garam masala. Mix everything thoroughly until a uniform mixture is achieved.
If the mixture feels too wet, add breadcrumbs gradually to bind it better. The mixture should be soft but firm enough to shape.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a round patty approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Carefully place the patties in the pan in a single layer without overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the leftover bread patties hot with ketchup, chutney, or yogurt dip.
