Ingredients

• 4 pieces Whole wheat bread slices
• 1 cup Gram flour (besan)
• 0.75 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 piece Green chili, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 1 as needed Low-fat cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, baking powder, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and cumin seeds.

Step 3

Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Add grated ginger, chopped green chili, and chopped coriander leaves to the batter and mix well.

Step 5

Cut each slice of bread diagonally to make triangles.

Step 6

Dip each bread triangle into the batter, ensuring both sides are coated evenly with the mixture.

Step 7

Place the coated bread pieces on the prepared baking tray and lightly spray with low-fat cooking spray.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pakoras are golden brown and crisp, flipping them halfway through cooking.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 10

Serve the low-fat bread pakoras warm with your choice of green chutney or yogurt dip for a delicious snack.
