Ingredients
For the Fritters
- 6 slices Bread use a day-old loaf for best results.
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cup Gram Flour also known as bengal gram flour or besan
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 2 tsp Garlic paste
- 2 tsp Ginger paste
- 1 tsp Fenugreek Leaves dried, kasuri methi
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 cup Oil for frying, vegetable or canola oil
For Serving (Optional)
- Tomato Ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Bread
- Diagonally cut the bread slices into triangles and set aside.
Make the Batter
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, chickpea flour, garlic paste, ginger paste, red chili powder, dried fenugreek leaves, and salt until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.
Fry the Bread Fritters
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Dip each bread slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the coated bread slices into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook Until Golden Brown
- Fry the bread fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve
- Serve the crispy bread fritters hot, optionally with tomato ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Extra Crispy Fritters
- Use day-old bread: Day-old bread is less likely to become soggy in the batter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Frying in batches ensures even cooking and crispy results.
- Adjust spices to taste: Feel free to adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preference.
- Get creative with dipping sauces: Experiment with different dipping sauces like chutney, yogurt dips, or even a spicy mayo.
