Ingredients
- 8 pieces Bread slices
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 2 tablespoons Rice flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 3 cups Oil for deep frying
- 0 to taste Green chutney or ketchup (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Cut each of the bread slices diagonally to form two triangles per slice. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, add chickpea flour, rice flour, baking soda, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, carom seeds, and salt.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth and lump-free batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Dip each bread triangle into the batter, ensuring it is completely covered, and gently drop them into the hot oil.
Step 6
Fry the pakoras in batches, without overcrowding, until they are golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 7
Remove the pakoras using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the vegan bread pakoras hot with green chutney or ketchup.
