Now I am sure many might not find this one as a "great" recipe but considering I am no professional chef, such things are nothing less than a milestone for me. And hence, I thought of sharing it here. Nothing is more relaxing than a nice piping plate of spicy bread pakoras for a rainy or cold evening isn't it? So, I decided to make some using my very popular 'trial and error' method. The result is given below. I hope you too get a chance to try this out and hopefully enjoy it as much as I did!
Ingredients
4-5 slices of bread - cut into small squares.
4 tablespoons of Besan powder (kadale hiTTu)
3 green chillies
1 teaspoon red chilly powder
Coriander leaves chopped fine
Salt to taste
Method
1) Mix the besan with some water along with finely chopped green chillies, red chilly powder and coriander leaves. Make sure the batter isn't too thick but isn't too thin either since it needs to stick to the bread.
2) To this add the salt and mix well until the batter resembles that of a dosa batter.
3) Now immerse the bread pieces into it ensuring that it is properly covered with the batter on both sides.
4) Heat oil in a deep dish pan (you need a deep dish since you are going to drown the pakoras in steaming oil!) and start putting in each of the pakoras one by one into the dish.
5) Deep fry them until they are golden brown, and then remove them onto a paper napkin (or kitchen tissue) so that the excessive oil is absorbed.
6) Thats it! Have it with some tangy sauce or some other chutney, as you wish.
The same recipe can be used to make pakoras of any kind - capsicum, potato etc - so feel free to deep fry your choice and hope the rainy days seem more pleasant thanks to the pakoras! ;)
Cheers,
SK
