Bread Pakora Recipe | Bread Bajji Recipe
Bread Pakora is a quick and tasty tea time snack that many of us grew up eating. This is made by dipping bread slices in a spicy besan batter and deep frying it till golden. It tastes so good when served hot with a cup of tea or even just as such. Some also call it Bread Bajji in South India, and it's one of those easy snacks that never fails to please.

Ingredients
- 5 slices bread
- ½ cup besan flour
- ¼ cup rice flour
- ½ teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cooking soda
- salt to taste
- oil to deep fry
Instructions
- Measure and take besan and rice flour and transfer to a wide mixing bowl. Add red chili powder, ginger garlic paste, required salt and whisk it well for even mixing.
- Then add water little by little to form a semi runny batter slightly thicker than dosa batter. It should be free flowing but not too runny. Set aside.
- Trim the edges of bread slices and cut it diagonally to form triangles. Now add cooking soda to the batter.
- You can see small bubbles frothing which shows the activeness of soda. Dip each triangle piece of bread slice on both sides.
- Heat oil, add the bread slices, turn over and cook on both sides till golden. Cook in low medium flame to avoid burning. Drain in tissue paper and serve hot.
- Serve Bread Pakora hot!
Notes
-
- Cooking soda timing – Make sure to add soda just before frying. Don’t rest the batter for long after adding soda as it activates more and will affect the texture.
-
- Batter consistency – I have kept the batter to a semi thick consistency. If it’s too watery, it won’t stick to the bread well and also absorbs more oil.
-
- Cutting the bread – I usually cut into triangles, but you can do squares also. Try to use fresh bread.
-
- Oil heat level – Keep the flame low-medium. If the oil is too hot, it browns fast but stays raw inside.
-
- Serving idea – I love to eat this as is, but you can serve with coconut chutney or even tomato sauce.
