Bread Pakora

Bread Pakoras are a great appetizer and tastes very yummy when served hot with a cup of tea.

Ingredients

• 6 slices of white bread
• 1-1.5 cup gram flour (besan)
• 1 tbsp rice flour
• 1 tsp salt
• Pinch of asafetida (hing)
• Cumin seeds (jeera)
• 1-2 Finely chopped green chilies
• Chopped green corriander
• 1/2 cup of water
• Oil

Method

1. Remove the Crust from all sides of the bread.
2. Slice the bread lengthwise into 2or3 equal parts as you like.
3. Mix Gram flour, rice flour, hing, cumin seeds and salt all together. 
4. Now add water slowly to make a smooth batter. (Rice flour is used to make pakoras more crispy)
5. Now add green chillies and corriander to the batter and mix it well.
6. Heat the oil in a frying pan on a medium high heat.
7. Dip the bread slices into the batter one at a time and put and slowly drop it to the frying pan. Before dropping bread into the pan check if the oil is ready by putting a drop of batter into it. It should come up immediately but should not change the color.
8. Fry the Pakoras in small batches and turn them in between so that both sides turn golden brown.
9. Now your crispy delicious bread pakoras are ready to serve.

Serve them hot with green chutney or Tamarind chutney to taste it best.

Tip

If the oil is too hot then pakoras will not become crispy and if its not heated up properly then they will become very oily. You may have to adjust flame in between according to your need.
