Ingredients

6 White Bread Slices
2 cups Besan (Gram Flour)
2 tablespoon Rice Flour (Chawal ka aata)
2 teaspoon Coriander & Cumin Seed Powder
1 teaspoon Gram Masala Powder
1 teaspoon Carrom Seeds (Ajwain)
1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
2 teaspoon Red Chilly Powder (or as per your preference)
1/4th cup Coriander leaves (Cilantro) finely chopped
Salt to taste
Oil to fry

Method

- Cut the bread slices into triangles. You may also cut the bread slice in equal halves (these are better to handle while frying).

- Let’s make the batter.

- In a bowl, add besan (gram flour), rice flour, red chilly powder, garam masala powder, dhania-jeera powder (coriander-cumin seed powder), carom seeds and til (sesame seeds). Now add water little by little and mix well.

- The batter should not be too runny, it should coat the bread slice evenly.

- Add salt and finely chopped coriander leaves. Mix the batter well and make sure no lumps are formed. The consistency of the batter should be a little thick to be able to coat the bread slice.

- Heat oil in a frying pan. Dip the bread slice into the besan batter and gently drop in the hot oil. (You may use fork to drop the pakora into the oil).

- Coat the bread evenly.

- Deep fry till it gets nice golden colour from both sides.

- Serve hot with tomato ketchup or chutney of your choice.
