- 100 grams Gram flour (besan)
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

- 150 ml Water
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped

Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting each bread slice diagonally into triangles and set them aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, carom seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, until you have a smooth batter with a slightly thick consistency.
Step 4
Add chopped onion, green chilies, and coriander leaves to the batter and mix thoroughly.
Step 5
Preheat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly spray with oil spray.
Step 6
Dip each bread triangle into the batter, making sure it's coated evenly.
Step 7
Place the coated bread triangle on the preheated pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Spray a little more oil if needed.
Step 8
Flip the pakodas and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until both sides are golden brown.
Step 9
Repeat the process with remaining bread triangles and batter.
Step 10
Once all pakodas are cooked, serve hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
