Steps

1

Steam or boil potatoes just until done without making them mushy. You can also boil the potatoes in a cooker for 2 whistles. I prefer to steam in a pot as it is easy to keep an eye.
2

Steam the green peas.
Mash them well and set aside.
3

Heat oil in a pan and crackle mustard. Then saute ginger, green chilies and curry leaves until it begins to smell good. Off the stove
Add red chilli powder, garam masala and turmeric.
4

Transfer mashed potatoes, peas and salt. Mix everything well. Cool this.
5

Arrange bread slices on a chopping board or plate.
Place the potato mix over bread slices. Cover each slice with another one.
6

Press gently and cut each sandwich to 2 triangles. Set these aside.
Heat oil in a pan for shallow or deep frying.
7

While the oil heats prepare the batter. In another bowl, mix together besan, ajwain, red chilli powder, salt, rice flour and turmeric.
8

Pour water just enough to make the batter that is neither too thick nor too thin.
Check if the oil is hot by dropping a little amount of batter in the oil. The batter has to rise without browning.
9

Place each cut slice in the batter and drop gently in the hot oil.
Fry bread pakora until golden on both the sides on a medium heat. Flip when one side is golden and fry.
10

Repeat frying the rest of bread pakora. Drain on a kitchen tissue. Serve bread pakora hot or warm with green chutney or sauce.
