Instructions
Prepare the Bread
- Cut the brown bread slices into desired shapes, such as fingers or triangles.
Make the Batter
- In a bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, green chilies, coriander, chili powder, carom seeds, salt, and turmeric powder. Add enough water to make a smooth, pourable batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Fry the Bread Fingers
- Heat the oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat. Dip each bread piece into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the coated bread into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Drain and Serve
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Remove the fried bread fingers and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle with chaat masala (optional). Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.

Expert Tips for Perfect Crispy Bread Fingers
- For extra crispiness, let the coated bread fingers rest for 5-10 minutes before frying.

- Adjust the amount of chili powder to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Experiment with different shapes and sizes for added fun and visual appeal. You can use cookie cutters for creative shapes!
