Bread Pakoda

After the culinary world tour last month, we are back to our regular blogging 3 days a week. This week I shall highlight some kid-centric party ideas.

These pakodas are a delight to make, serve and enjoy as well. I was expecting a bland kind of pakoda but these turned out super tasty and slightly on the spicy side. So I didn't offer it to my little one who cannot take spice at all, while my older one is just the opposite! 

Ingredients - 

Bread 6 slices
Green Chutney or Bombay Sandwich spread as needed
Besan / Chickpea Flour 1 cup
Salt, Asafoetida and Red Chilli Powder as needed
Water to make a lump free batter
Oil to deep fry

* Optionally a layer of aloo sabji can be applied between the bread slices

Method Of Preparation -


Trim the sides of the bread slices.

Apply the green chutney on one slice and and place another bread slice on top. Make three pairs.

Slice each pair into 4 triangles and keep aside.

Heat a kadai/wok with adequate oil.

In a mixing bowl, sieve the besan/chickpea flour and add salt, red chilli powder and asafoetida. Add sufficient water to make a pancake better consistency.

Dip the prepared triangles in the batter, gently slide into the hot oil and fry on both sides until they are golden brown.

Remove onto paper towels to drain excess oil and continue until all the triangles are done.

Serve them warm with any sauce of your choice.
