Instructions
Let's grind a green masala paste. Add Ginger, Green Chilies, Curry Leaves, Garlic, Lime Juice. Grind into a coarse paste. Coarse Green Paste is ready. We have used 1 tsp water while grinding
In a large bowl, put Gram flour. Add Turmeric Powder, Red Chili Powder, Carom Seeds. Add Salt to taste. Add 2 tbsp hot Oil in this batter. Add half quantity green masala. Reserve other half for stuff mixture and mix well.
Gradually add water and mix well. Whisk well. More you whisk the batter, it will be lighter and Pakoras will be soft and fluffier. Light and airy gram flour batter is now ready.
We have whisked well for 6-7 mins. Let's check the consistency. It must coat the back of the spoon. We have used ¾th Cup water. Cover and keep aside.
Heat 2 tbsp Oil in a Pan. Add Mustard Seeds, Cumin Seeds, Asafoetida Powder and chopped Onions. Fry until Onions become light brown in color. Onions become light brown in 4-5 mins.
Add Coriander Leaves. Add remaining masala paste and Salt. Cook well. We have cooked masala for 3-4 mins to get rid of raw flavor. Now add Sugar and mashed Potatoes. You can also add ¼tsp Turmeric Powder, if you want yellow colored stuffing. Mash potatoes well with the masala. Mash Potatoes well so that it can be spread on Bread Slices.
Add Coriander leaves and mix well. Remove the stuffing from the heat and allow it to cool down completely. Potato stuffing has cooled down now. Let’s start now
We have taken 2 Bread Slices. Do not trim the edges. Apply Green Chutney on one of the slice and spread it. Apply and spread red chutney on other slice. Now put Potato stuffing and spread it evenly with your palms. Put the other slice on top and cut into two triangles with a knife. Similarly, assemble all Pakoras
Let's check if Oil has become hot enough. Put few drops of batter. If it rises up on the surface immediately, then Oil is hot enough. If it sinks, then Oil in not sufficiently hot.
Dip stuffed Bread slices in batter and coat well. Drip the excess batter. Do not keep bread slices in batter for long. It may become soggy and may break while frying. Put coated bread slices in Oil
Fry Bread Pakoras from both sides on low-medium heat until it becomes golden brown in color. In about 2 mins, Bread Pakoras is ready. Remove from Oil
Make this Bread Pakora for your next Pakora Party. Serve with Dry Garlic-Coconut Chutney
