Deep fried Bread Stuffed with 3 different types of chutneys is an all time favorite of all. Mint and Coriander chutney, spicy south Indian coconut chutney and tomato ketchup gives beautiful flavours and colours to each and every layer.
These can be served as a breakfast or as accompaniment with evening tea.
Kids love to carry it in their lunch boxes.

Steps

10 minutes

1

Take a broad mixing bowl and make a smooth, medium consistency batter by mixing all the ingredients listed under batter with water (little water at a time)
The batter should not be too thick or too runny. Keep it aside.
2

Meanwhile take 3 slices of bread for one bread sandwich pakoda
Now spread 1 tablespoon of green chutney on one bread slice
Lay another bread slice on top of the green chutney slice and apply 1 tablespoon of spicy coconut chutney evenly
3

Take the 3rd bread slice spread the tomato ketchup and place on the coconut chutney side and make sure all the sides are intact
4

Gently press all over and now put the whole sandwich into the batter very carefully.
Now cover the sandwich with the batter and make sure that the sandwich is coated with the batter from everywhere.
5

Now lift the coated sandwich very carefully, hold it for few seconds, so that excess batter is removed and gently slide the whole sandwich into the hot oil.
(be careful)
6

Keep pouring hot oil over the Pakoda from the sides with the stainless steel slotted spoon
7

Once you see the upper layer of the pakora covered in oil, very gently turn away the pakora and fry until golden brown and crisp
Remove it from the oil on a plate
8

Now cut the pakora into 2 or four triangles with a knife.
Serve HOT bread pakoda with tea or any cold beverage.
Repeat same method with the remaining breads.
