Bread Fritters

Moyrom's Tip

The bread that you will be using for this recipe should be quite firm because; when putting the batter onto the bread it will break easily and it will not fry properly.

Ingredients

4 slices of firm white bread

1 cup gram flour

1 tablespoon rice flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

2 finely chopped green chilies

1/4 cup chopped green coriander

1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons of water

Oil to fry

Method

Remove the crust from all sides of the bread.

Slice the bread lengthwise into 3 equal parts.

Mix all the dry ingredients together: Gram flour , rice flour,  cumin seeds, and salt. 

Add the water slowly to make a smooth batter. (Batter should be the consistency of a pancake batter)

Next, add the green chilies and coriander. Mix well.

Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium high heat.

Frying pan should have at least 11/2 inch of oil. To check if the oil is ready, put one drop of batter in the oil.

The batter should come up but not change colour right away.

Dip the bread slices in the batter one at a time and slowly drop into the frying pan.

Fry the Pakoras in small batches. The pakoras will take about 4 to 5 minutes to cook.

Turn them occasionally. Fry the Pakoras until both sides are golden-brown.

Repeat this process.
