Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Whole wheat bread slices
- 100 grams Gram flour (besan)
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 150 ml Water
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
- Oil spray
Instructions
Begin by cutting each bread slice diagonally into triangles and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, carom seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
Gradually add water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, until you have a smooth batter with a slightly thick consistency.
Add chopped onion, green chilies, and coriander leaves to the batter and mix thoroughly.
Preheat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly spray with oil spray.
Dip each bread triangle into the batter, making sure it's coated evenly.
Place the coated bread triangle on the preheated pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Spray a little more oil if needed.
Flip the pakodas and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until both sides are golden brown.
Repeat the process with remaining bread triangles and batter.
Once all pakodas are cooked, serve hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
