Aloo Bread Pakora Recipe

Just in case you thought that the Bombay Spl Sandwich was the fanciest India could get with bread, thing again. Another bread delicacy from the streets of India happens to be the golden brown deep-fried bread pakora.

The snack is a batter-fried bread fritter, which can either be stuffed with something or not. Usually the bread pakoras come with a spiced potato stuffing, while some like a chunk of cottage cheese and chutney in the center. And more often than not, people like to binge on plain stuffing-free bread pakoras as well. Use this recipe to fry up a batch of potato filled bread pakoras.
