Ingredients

• 2 medium Potatoes
• 8 Bread slices
• 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
• 0.5 teaspoon Chaat masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves
• 0.75 cup Water
• 2 cups, for deep frying Oil

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in a pot of water until tender. Once cooled, peel and mash the potatoes in a bowl.

Step 2

To the mashed potatoes, add salt (0.5 teaspoon), chaat masala, red chili powder (0.25 teaspoon), chopped green chili, grated ginger, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix thoroughly to combine the ingredients.

Step 3

Take a slice of bread and spread a generous portion of the potato mixture evenly on it. Place another slice of bread on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and potato mixture.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, turmeric powder, remaining red chili powder, carom seeds, and the other half teaspoon of salt. Gradually add water, stirring continuously, to form a smooth batter without lumps.

Step 5

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

Step 6

Dip each prepared sandwich into the chickpea flour batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated sandwich into the hot oil. Fry until both sides are golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes per side.

Step 8

Remove the pakora from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

Cut the bread pakoras in halves or quarters and serve hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
