Ingredients

• 6 slices Gluten-free bread slices
• 3 medium Potatoes
• 1 cup Chickpea flour (Besan)
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 1 teaspoon grated Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon, or to taste Salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped Fresh cilantro
• 2 cups for frying Oil

Directions

Step 1

Boil potatoes in a pot until they are soft. Once cooked, drain and peel them.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Add green chili, grated ginger, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped cilantro into the potato mixture. Set aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, prepare the batter by combining chickpea flour, water, a pinch of salt, and a little red chili powder (optional) to the desired spice level. Whisk it until smooth and lump-free.

Step 5

Cut the gluten-free bread slices into halves or leave them whole, based on preference.

Step 6

Spread an even layer of the potato mixture onto one slice of bread and cover it with another slice, forming a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices.

Step 7

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

Step 8

Carefully dip each stuffed bread sandwich into the chickpea flour batter, ensuring it is well coated on all sides.

Step 9

Gently slide it into the hot oil and fry until the pakora turns golden brown and crispy, usually around 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 10

Remove the pakoras using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
