Ingredients

  1. Ingredients for batter:
  2. 1 cup besan (chickpea flour/gram flour)
  3. 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste
  4. 1/4 teaspoon carom seeds
  5. 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder or to taste
  6. 1/4 teaspoon amchur (dried raw mango powder)
  7. A pinch of baking soda
  8. Salt to taste
  10. Ingredients for stuffing:
  11. 1 cup potatoes (boiled, peeled and mashed)
  12. 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
  13. 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
  14. 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint leaves
  15. 1 teaspoon freshly ground ginger
  16. 1 teaspoon freshly ground green chillies
  17. 1 teaspoon chaat masala
  18. Salt to taste
  20. Other ingredients:
  21. 6 slices bread
  22. Oil for deep-frying

Method

  1. Combine all the ingredients for batter in a large bowl. Mix well and keep aside.
  2. Combine all the ingredients for stuffing in a bowl and mix well.
  3. Place 3 slices of bread in a dish and spread the prepared potato stuffing on each slice with the help of a butter knife. Cover each of them with a bread slice. You will get 3 sandwiches stuffed with potato filling.
  4. Cut each sandwich diagonally into 2 triangular sandwiches.
  5. Heat oil in a pan for deep-frying. The oil should be medium hot to fry perfect pakoras. To check, drop a bit of batter into the oil, the batter should come up, but not change colour right away.
  6. Dip each triangular sandwich in the batter and deep-fry till it turns golden brown and crispy from both the sides. Place on a dish lined with kitchen towel or absorbent paper napkins.
  7. Serve hot with green chutney and masala chai.
