Instructions
 

Prepare the Potato Filling

  • Mash the boiled potatoes well. Add the chopped coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, carom seeds, and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Prepare the Batter

  • In a bowl, whisk together the gram flour, rice flour (if using), salt, and water until you achieve a smooth, pourable batter. The consistency should be slightly thinner than pancake batter.

Assemble and Cook the Pakoras

  • Spread a thin layer of the potato mixture onto one slice of brown bread. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.
  • Dip each bread pakora into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  • Heat a tawa (griddle) or a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with mustard oil.
  • Carefully place the battered bread pakoras onto the hot tawa. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Add a tiny amount of oil to the sides as needed to prevent sticking and encourage crispiness.

Serve

  • Once cooked, remove the pakoras from the tawa and cut each one in half. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or ketchup.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Bread Pakoras

  • For extra crispy pakoras, add a pinch of baking soda to the batter.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the pakoras in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  • Adjust the spices to your preference. Feel free to add other spices like cumin powder or turmeric for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a less oily pakora, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
