- Add the potatoes, green peas, turmeric powder, ginger-green chilli paste, coriander and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes.
- Divide into 2 equal portions and keep aside.
How to proceed to make bread pakora
- Place a slice of bread on a clean, dry and flat surface and spread a portion of the aloo masala evenly over it.
- Place another slice of bread over it, press lightly and cut it diagonally into 2 equal pieces.
- Heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai, dip one piece at a time in the batter and deep-fry on a medium flame till it turns crisp and golden brown in colour from both the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
- Repeat steps 1 to 3 to make 2 more bread pakoras.
- Serve the bread pakora immediately with meetha chutney, teekha chutney or sukha lehsun ka chutney.
Handy tip:
- For the aloo stuffing in this recipe, you may avoid using green peas if required. Further, you may also use leftover batata vada mixture as a filling for this recipe.
Variation:
- Make these bhajjis without the stuffing! apply teekha chutney and sukha lehsun ka chutney between the bread slices, coat with batter and deep fry.
