- 2 tbsp Bell Peppers finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin roasted and ground
- 1 tsp Chili Paste adjust to taste, green

For the Bread Pakoda
- 6 slices Bread crusts removed, white bread
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Corn Flour
- 1/2 cup Water

Instructions
Prepare the Potato Filling
- Heat oil in a pan. Add capsicum and sauté for a minute. Add chili powder, cumin, green chili paste, and mashed potatoes. Mix well. Stir in lemon juice, cheese, and salt. Cook until heated through. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Bread
- Trim the crusts from the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice.
Assemble the Pakoda
- Spread a spoonful of the potato filling onto each bread slice. Fold the bread to enclose the filling, pressing gently to seal.
Make the Batter
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cornflour, water and salt until smooth.
Fry the Pakoda
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or wok to 350°F (175°C). Dip each stuffed bread slice in the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the pakodas in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
- Serve the Bread Pakoda hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Bread Pakoda
- For extra flavor, marinate the potato filling for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying. Fry in batches to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.
- If the batter seems too thick, add a little more water to achieve a pourable consistency.
