BREAD PAKODA

Bread pakodas are the favourite snack in our house.  Whenever  my children are bored of eating, they used to tell me to make something good. (kuch acha). that is their dialogue.  At this time, I must understand that they want something like onion bhajia, potato bhajia or pakoda.

Bread is always there at home hence I quickly make these pakodas.  A quick snack for your unexpected visitors along with a cup of coffee/tea provided you have the items in stock at home like bread, gram flour,red chilli powder etc. It can be made very easily.

This can be served at any point of time at my home.  You also enjoy the same.  let us look at the recipe now:

Preparation time:  15 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Serves: 3-4

Ingredients:

2 cups   Besan

2 tsp chili powder  (as per your choice/requirement)

½ tsp ajwain (omam)

Hing powder a pinch

Turmeric powder a pinch

2 tsp Rice flour

5-6 Bread slices

Salt as required.

A pinch of baking soda (optional)

Oil for deep frying

Method:

In a bowl, mix the besan, chilli powder, ajwain, hing powder, rice flour. 

Add water and make a smooth batter for the bhajiya

If you are not in a hurry, can keep the batter for 15 minutes aside.

Heat two tsp oil and mix with the batter for a crispy pakoda. 

If you add the hot oil in the mix, there is no need to add soda.

Cut the bread slices into four pieces. 

Dip each piece in the batter and  put it in the oil and deep fry. 

Remove the excess oil by placing them in paper napkin. 

Serve hot with sauce/chutney.

Tip: if the batter remains, u can slice onion and mix with it and fry them.
