Bread Pakora Recipe – How to make Bread Pakora Recipe

Bread Pakora Indian style

I have learnt this recipe from my mom. In fact because of her I am a good cook. I used to carry bread pakoras in my tiffin box and also eat during tea times. Me and my sis used to thrive on them. Even in Mumbai there are lot of stalls who sell these yum Bread Pakoras. Though I would prefer frying them home because of hygiene purpose.

So lets make these tasty snack now!

Total Time: 15 mins

Serves: 4 to 5 people

Ingredients:

  1. 1 cup gram flour (besan)
  2. 1.5 cup oil for deep frying
  3. 6 tbsp corn flour
  4. 6 tbsp refined flour
  5. 5 to 6 bread sliced into four pieces Or into 2 pieces
  6. 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  7. 1 tbsp baking powder
  8. 1/2 tbsp coriander seed powder (dhaniya)
  9. 1/2 tbsp turmeric powder (haldi)
  10. 1/2 tbsp cumin seed powder (jeera)
  11. 1 t/s red chili powder
  12. 1/2 tbsp fennel seed powder
  13. 1 tbsp garam masala powder
  14. 1/2 t/s asofoetida (hing)
  15. 1/2 t/s raw mango powder Or lime juice
  16. rock salt/ salt as per taste
  17. 1 green chili chopped
  18. 1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves
  19. 1/2 onion finely chopped
  20. 7 to 8 tbsp water

Method:

Slit bread into 2 pieces Or into triangular shape. Keep them aside.

Take a mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients except oil and water.  Lastly add 2 tbsp oil and water. Beat this mixture with a spoon. Ensure no lumps are formed.

The batter should be of thick consistency. If your batter is thin add some more flour to it.

Place a frying pan with oil on medium heat. Allow the oil to get hot.

Dip sliced bread into the batter. Coat from all sides. Gently leave them in hot oil. Fry from both sides until nice golden brown in color.

Repeat the same with other sliced bread. Place them on tissue napkins to absorb excess oil.

Serve hot on a platter with chutney, sauce along with a hot cup of tea.  I served my bread pakoras with garlic coconut chutney.

Tip:

  • You could just use gram flour instead of corn flour and refined flour. I wanted a combo of all hence used all of them.
  • You could use baking soda instead of baking powder.
  • Another variation would be fry paneer Or tofu in the same batter instead of bread.
  • Ensure once you frying the heat is on low mode else your pakoras wouldn’t fry properly inside.
  • You could use any herb you want for these pakoras.
  • If any batter remains don’t worry store them into fridge. Use this batter for frying pakoras next time voila…

Enjoy Bread Pakora Indian Style!
