Bread pakora is one of the most popular street food in India. It is crunchy and made with easy stuffed with spiced Potato filling, coated in seasoned gram flour batter, and deep fried. In this recipe, I share regular and sandwich-style bread pakora with special green chutney. Do try this quick and easy street-style recipe with all available ingredients in your kitchen.
The key to making tasty bread pakoda at home are
- Firstly, Besan batter has a medium thick consistency and coated the backside of the spoon very well. Also, whisk besan batter for 2-3 minutes, so air particles incorporate into it and help to make fluffy bread pakora.
- For the masala, cool down boiled potatoes completely, so they become dry and no moisture in it and masala become dry. Also, the stuffing can be easily extended with a mixture of other vegetables apart from just potatoes.
- I would recommend using normal white sandwich bread slices for this recipe. wholemeal or multi-grain bread slices would also work but white bread is more preferred.
- Deep fry these bread pakoda immediately after soaking in besan batter. also, avoid soaking it at repeated intervals otherwise it may turn soggy.
- Lastly, bread pakoda tastes great when it is slightly spicy and served hot.
