Bread Pakora Balls | Kravings

A delicious spiced Potato filling is encased in a slice of dampened humble bread. It’s dipped in a flour paste and breadcrumbs and then deep fried. This crispy snack brings back memories of my boarding school days in Panchgani.
Here are the ingredients and steps to make this recipe!
Bread Pakora Balls
250 gms cubed Potatoes
Salted Water
1/2 cup finely diced Onion
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1 tsp Mustard seeds
1 tsp sliced green Chillies
1/4 cup Curry Leaves
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp red Chilli powder (less for spice levels)
1 tsp Cumin powder
2 tsps Ginger & Garlic paste
2 tbsps Water
Salt to taste
Chopped Coriander
12 slices Sandwich bread
Flour paste
1 - 2 cups Breadcrumbs
Boil the Potatoes in Salted Water and remove
Heat Oil and add the Onions followed by the Cumin & Mustard seeds
Add the Green Chillies and Curry Leaves
Add the Turmeric, Chilli and Cumin powder
Add the Ginger & Garlic paste
Add the Potatoes and allow it to absorb the spices
Add the Water & Salt to taste
Using a Potato masher, just mash the mixture
Add the Coriander
When cool to handle form into small balls
Cut the crusts off the bread
Lightly dip each slice in the bread very briskly - they need to be damp not soaking wet, add the potato ball in.
The centre and using the palm of your hand cup it and close the bread all around the potato ball to seal and keep aside
Dip the balls in some flour paste - this is just flour and water mixed together
With a dry hand, coat it in the breadcrumbs
Deep fry in hot oil and drain on some kitchen towel

[@johnd.9]

Very interesting. Just a quick question, when you wrap the balls up with the slightly moistened bread are you trying to squeeze and compress the bread around the center or leave it very loose and airy?

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

No, it's not loose and airy, it will actually hug the ball of filling on all sides. The squeezing your seeing is trying to close the edges together.
