Ingredients

• 2 large Boiled potatoes
• 8 pieces Whole wheat bread slices
• 0.5 cup Green peas
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 small Green chilies
• 1 inch Ginger
• 0.25 cup Coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Besan (chickpea flour)
• 1 tablespoon Rice flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Mash the boiled potatoes in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, green chilies, and ginger. Also, chop the coriander leaves.

Step 3

In a non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Then add chopped onion, green chilies, and ginger. Sauté until the onions become translucent.

Step 5

Add green peas to the mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften.

Step 6

Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for an additional minute until the spices are fragrant.

Step 7

Add the mashed potatoes, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine all the ingredients and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat and mix in chopped coriander leaves. Let the filling cool slightly.

Step 9

Take a slice of bread and place about 2 tablespoons of the prepared potato filling on one side. Spread evenly, then cover with another slice of bread, like a sandwich.

Step 10

Repeat to make 4 sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into halves or triangles if desired.

Step 11

In a separate bowl, prepare the batter by mixing besan, rice flour, salt, baking soda, and water to form a smooth, slightly thick batter.

Step 12

Heat a non-stick skillet or flat pan and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the oil evenly.

Step 13

Dip each bread sandwich into the batter, coating it evenly on all sides.

Step 14

Place the coated bread in the skillet and cook on medium heat. Fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides, turning carefully.

Step 15

Once cooked, remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 16

Serve the low-fat aloo bread pakoras warm with mint chutney or tomato ketchup.
