Ingredients:

1 tablespoon rice flour
1 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
1 cup gram flour (besan)
4 slices of firm white bread
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch of asafetida (hing)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (green coriander)
2 finely chopped green chilies
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons of water

How to Cultivate it :

Step - 1 - Remove the crust from all sides of the bread.

Step - 2 - Slice the bread lengthwise into 3 equal parts.

Step - 3 - Mix all the dry ingredients together: Gram flour (besan), rice flour, asafetida, cumin seeds, and salt. Rice flour adds to the crispness.

Step - 4 - Add the water slowly to make a smooth batter. (Batter should be the consistency of pancake batter or dosa batter)
Next, add the green chilies and cilantro. Mix well.

Step - 5 - Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium high heat.

Step - 6 - 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 color right away.

Step - 7 - Dip the bread slices in the batter one at a time and slowly drop into the frying pan.

Step - 8 - Fry the Pakoras in small batches. The pakoras will take about 4 to 5 minutes to cook.

Step - 9 - Turn them occasionally. Fry the Pakoras until both sides are golden-brown.

Repeat this process. The crispy, delicious Bread Pakoras are ready to serve.
