ingredients

1/2 teaspoon ajwain (tymol seeds)
1/4 teaspoon asafoetida
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
8 slices bread
1 cup gram flour (besan)
1/4 teaspoon nigella
salt, to taste
1/4 cup water
1 large onion
2 large potato
2 cloves garlic
1 piece (0.5 inch size) fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
2 tablespoons cooking oil, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1/2 cup cooking oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder

directions

For Batter: Mix everything from ajwain to salt in a bowl. Add water slowly and keep on mixing it until the batter becomes smooth and thick.

For Stuffing: Boil the potatoes either in microwave or in a pressure cooker. Once boiled, peel off the skin and cut into small 1/2" cubes.

Heat the 2 Tbsp oil in a frying pan. Add the garam masala powder and fry it for 1/2 minute. Add the finely sliced onion and fry it until it is light brown. Add grated ginger and garlic and fry it for 3 minutes.

Add the turmeric and red chili powder and fry it on slow heat for 10 minutes. Now add the boiled potato and fry it for another 5 minutes. Your stuffing is ready.

For Bread Pakora: Heat the 1/2 cup oil in a frying pan.

Take 2 triangular pieces of the bread and fill it with the potato stuffing. Dip it in the batter until it is entirely covered by the batter.

Deep fry in the oil until for about 5 to 10 minutes. Remember to keep the oil in medium heat.

This is a very tasty snack and goes very well at tea time.
