Ingredients
- 4 slices Leftover bread (any type)
- 1 large Boiled potato
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 small Green chili (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Tear the leftover bread into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add 1/4 cup of water to the bread pieces and let them soak for 1-2 minutes. Then use your hands to squeeze out excess water and mash the bread until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Step 3
Peel the boiled potato and mash it into the bread mixture.
Step 4
Add the finely chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, and grated ginger to the bowl.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, and garam masala. Mix everything thoroughly until a uniform mixture is achieved.
Step 6
If the mixture feels too wet, add breadcrumbs gradually to bind it better. The mixture should be soft but firm enough to shape.
Step 7
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a round patty approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 9
Carefully place the patties in the pan in a single layer without overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 11
Serve the leftover bread patties hot with ketchup, chutney, or yogurt dip.
