Ingredients:

• 10 slice Bread
• Oil for Deep Frying

For Preparing Batter:

• 1 cup Gram Flour (Besan)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped Coriander Leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon Chilli Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• A pinch Hing (Asafoetida)
• A pinch Baking Soda
• Salt to Taste

Instructions:

For Preparing Batter:

• Take a big bowl and put the besan in it.
• Add Coriander leaves, Chilli Powder, Turmeric Powder, Hing, Baking Soda and Salt to the besan.
• Mix all the ingredients properly and evenly.
• Now add water to the mixture little by little and make a thick batter. Keep it aside for some time.
• The consistency of the batter should be proper so that the bread slice can hold the gram flour properly. The batter should not be too thick nor too thin.

For Preparing Plain Bread Pakoda:

• Take the Bread Slice and cut them into two pieces in triangle shape. It can be cut into 4 pieces if you want to make smaller bread pakodas.
• Heat oil in a kadai over medium flame. Before we can deep fry the Bread Pakodas, we must check whether the oil is properly heated or not. For this, drop a fritter of besan into the oil. If it comes to the surface of the oil, you are ready to fry the pakodas.
• Take the bread slice and dip it into the batter. Roll it to cover the entire bread slice with the gram flour.
• Take the bread out of the batter and slowly dip it into the oil.
• Fry the pakodas by flipping it till it becomes light golden brown. Bread slice should be flipped regularly so that it gets cooked evenly.
• Take it out and put them in a paper towel so that it absorbs the excess oil.
  
• Deep fry all the remaining bread slices one by one by rolling them in the gram flour batter.
  
• Plain Bread Pakoda is ready to be served. Serve it hot with Green Chutney or Tomato Ketchup along with hot tea.
  

Notes:

1. The thickness of the batter should be such that it can properly roll and cover the entire bread slice.
2. Add water to the mixture little by little, so that the consistency of the paste remains proper.
3. The taste of the pakoda depends upon the way the batter is prepared. All the spices should be added in right quantity.
