- Bread slices: use 3 slices of bread cut into halves.
- Potatoes: has to be pre-boiled and then smashed or grated.
- 1 tsp of Red chili powder, 2 – 3 tsp of salt, coriander powder, and garam masala for the potato filling.
- Lemon juice: 1 to 2 tsp (required for the green chutney and for the bread stuffing).
- Green chutney.
- Sweet chutney
- Finely chopped onions.
- Cilantro (Coriander) leaves for garnishing.
Process:
The process includes preparing the bread pakoras first and then making the chaat. This recipe serves 2 people and the total preparation time is approximately 25 minutes of which 20 mins is the cooking time and 5 minutes for assembling and garnishing. To draw out the best flavors from the recipe serve it immediately with hot chai.
Step 1:
The first step is the preparation of the bread pakora. Just make sure while making the bread pakora do not add the green chutney inside the bread pakora and also add 1 tsp of lemon juice in the potato filling of your bread pakora. That will add a tangy flavor to your pakora.
Step 2:
The second step is cooling your pakoras. Place your bread pakoras on a tissue and gently press them. That will bring out the excess oil. Then place them on any steel rack to cool them down. This will prevent your pakoras from getting soggy.
Step 3:
In the third step, cut your pakoras into small pieces and place them on your serving plate. This is optional. You can also keep the bread in a triangular shape (cut end to end) or make small pieces as per preference.
Step 4:
The fourth and final step is making the chat. Sprinkle chaat masala from the top. Add chopped onions and green chutney. Finally, drizzle some sweet chutney from the top known as Saunth. You may add some sev on top to have a more crunchiness.
Just four steps and your Bread Pakora Chaat is ready. Serve it immediately with a cup of hot chai!
