Spicy Bread Pakoras!!!

BREAD PAKORA!

Pakora is an all time favorite dish of Indians. I tried making this bread pakora from the recipe given by a friend of mine.It's a very delicious evening snack and very easy to make with the ingredients that you would have at home most of the times.

You will need:

6-7 slices of bread( I prefer white bread)
Oil for frying
1 cup water to soak the bread

For filling :
2 medium sized potatoes
1/4 cup green peas
A pinch of mustard and jeera(cumin)
1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
A pinch of garam masala powder
Salt to taste

Method:

First boil and peel the potatoes. Then grate the potatoes and keep it aside.
Take a spoon of oil in pan and heat it. Once the oil is hot add mustard , jeera, ginger garlic paste, turmeric and red chilli powder and saute it. Now add the green peas and saute it till they become soft.To this add the grated potatoes and mix it well. Add a pinch of garam masala powder, salt and mix it well. Keep this filling aside.

Remove the brown side portions of the bread and use only the while part. Soak each slice of bread in a cup of water and squeeze the water out. Then flatten the slice of bread and fill it with the potato filling ( about 1 tsp of fillling in each slice). Fold the bread and seal the edges properly by pressing hard along the edges.

Heat the oil in a pan . Once it's adequately heated deep fry the bread pieces separately one at a time till they become slightly reddish brown on both sides. Take it out of the oil and keep it on a tissue paper to drain the excess of oil.

RELISH the bread pakoras when they are hot with tomato sauce or green chutney!!!
