Bread Pakoda

Bread pakora is an Indian and Pakistani fried snack (pakora or fritter). It is also known as bread bhaji (or bajji). A common street food, it is made from bread slices, gram flour, and spices among other ingredients.^[1]^[2]

The snack is prepared by dipping triangular bread slices in spicy gram flour batter and frying them.^[3] Stuffing such as mashed potatoes is common.^[4]^[5] It can be deep-fried or pan-fried, and is served with chutneys or ketchup.^[6]

Preparation[edit]

Bread pakora is made by frying a slice of bread in a spiced batter. The batter is made by mixing gram flour and spices. The bread is then dipped into the batter and fried. When one side is golden-brown, the bread is flipped and fried on the other side. Bread pakora is often served with chutney, like tamarind or cilantro-lime.^[2]^[7]

Variation[edit]

One variation of bread pakora is adding mashed potatoes to create a sandwich with two slices of bread and then frying it.^[2]^[7]
