Bread Pakoda




Ingredients -

  1. 4 Bread slices - each slice cut into 4-6 pieces (bread should not be too soft, medium thick slices are preferable)
  2. Onion - 1 - chopped
  3. Coriander - 1 small bunch - chopped
  4. Grated beet - 2 spoon  - optional
  5. Besan(Gram Flour) - 1 cup
  6. Turmeric
  7. Red chili powder
  8. Garlic powder - optional
  9. Salt
  10. Oil - For frying
Method
  • In a bowl, put the besan, turmeric, red chili powder, garlic powder, salt and add water to make a smooth paste. This will be used to coat the bread pieces, so ensure the batter is not too thin.
  • Add the chopped onions, coriander and grated beet. Beet is optional, but if you add it, makes the batter look nice pink in color(and who doesn't like pink).
  • Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. 
  • Once oil is ready for frying, dip each bread piece in the batter and fry it. You can add 3-4 pieces together, just make sure you do not crowd the pan else the frying won't be good. 
  • Make sure you fry it at medium flame for 2-3 mins each side. If the oil is too hot, the bread may end up burnt(and you certainly don't want that!)
  • Once frying is done, remove it on a plate lined with paper towel(to soak the excess oil).
  • Serve hot with ketchup/hot sauce. Enjoy as an appetizer or a quick snack.
