You cannot please me; you are not a bread pakoda. Yes I love it this much. Soft bread with a mouth watering stuffing dipped in gram flour batter and deep fried, to make a heavenly delicious snack. This one is my favourite on the list.
Bread Pakora recipe is a deep fried snack recipe made using a sandwich with potato filling, which is dipped in gram flour batter and deep fried. A crunchy coating, a spicy filling, the softness of the bread inside… everything makes it absolutely delightful. I have used a simple potato filling still the bread pakora is a big hit. It can be served with a cup of tea for breakfast on a rainy day.
