Ingredients

• 3 medium Potatoes
• 8 pieces Bread slices
• 1.5 cups Gram flour (besan)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 2 finely chopped Green chilies
• 1 inch, grated Ginger
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
• 2 cups (for frying) Oil
• 0 as needed Water

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes until soft. Peel and mash them in a large bowl.

Step 2

To the mashed potatoes, add chopped green chilies, grated ginger, coriander leaves, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, sift together gram flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, asafoetida, cumin seeds, and the remaining salt.

Step 4

Gradually add water to the gram flour mixture to make a thick, smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat for frying.

Step 6

Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the potato mixture on one slice. Top with the other bread slice to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining bread slices and potato filling.

Step 7

Cut each sandwich diagonally to form two triangles.

Step 8

Dip each triangle in the gram flour batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.

Step 9

Carefully slide the batter-coated sandwich into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 10

Remove the pakora from the oil and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper towels.

Step 11

Serve the aloo bread pakoras hot with mint chutney or ketchup.
