Bread pakoda in air fryer with step wise pictorial and video method.

Bread Pakoda or bread fritters is a famous Indian Street food made with stuffed bread coated with spiced gram flour batter and then deep fried.

Hailing from North Indian cuisine, especially from Punjab, this is not just a street food but this is one of the most amazing rainy day appetizer too.

By saying this, not necessarily mean we are strictly talking about bread pakoda but yes about pakoda, be it of Plain bread, onion, potato, lotus stems or any of the veggies.

There are two ways to make bread pakoda: one with stuffing and another without stuffing.

The one without stuffing is very common as it is very easy and quick to make. Just cut slice of bread, dip in batter and deep fry. As simple as that.

And the another one comes with little detailing. You need to prepare the potatoes stuffing, which is something very common in most of the recipes like aloo ka paratha, samosa etc, though with a little difference.

The spices added in the stuffing as well as batter may vary depending on your choice and availability of ingredients but more are less, they are easily available in every pantry.

INGREDIENTS USED

POTATOES : When it comes to filling of any snack, potatoes are always a winner. However it is up to your wisdom that what other ingredients you can use in replacement to the potatoes. But traditionally, this is strictly potatoes only which are used for filling in bread pakoda.

BESAN/GRAM FLOUR: As earlier discussed about potatoes that they are part and parcel of every filling, likewise, besan is also a part of every coating.. lol. You may add a tablespoon of semolina or rice flour for extra crispness.

BREAD : You may use any bread of your choice, be it white, brown or wheat flour bread.

SPICES : This recipe uses regular spices, the details of which is given in the list of ingredients.
