Bread Pakoda

[DesertRaining]

It must be so oily as bread absorbs a lot of oil....not a very healthy snack for me

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@DesertRaining : The bread has a coating of chickpea flour on it so the bread does not absorb the oil.

[kngiht84]

@DesertRaining You didn't hear her saying that her mum made it once a year? I'd rather have this once in a very while than munching on "healthy" snacks that taste like bales of hay! Everything in moderation works best!

Also, I made this today and it is out of this world :)

u guys rock ...im just a starter an iam totally inspired by your food...keep up the good work guys

[memeteora1]

that doesn't look healthy.

[neurocosm]

Interesting. Kind of like a MonteCristo. But.. not :) Nothing bad about a fried sandwich!

[Russin07]

eeww sorry :)

[myrelaxingvids]

I actually made an alu mutter sandwich and then toasted it slightly and put it in the batter and then deep fried it. That came out good as well :)

[bchap09]

Thanks,,,

its my first time is see this kind of food,,,,,,,

Thanks

[siamesek]

Looks tasty, will definitely try my hands at this. One question though, is there a difference between chaat masala and garam masala? Would I be able to use either/or (if there is a difference). Thanks for sharing the recipe :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Chat Masala (CM) and Garam Masala (GM) are different in flavor and used differently.

CM is used over your food and does not need to be cooked. It is salty as it has a lot of different types of salts in it. Mostly used in chat items.

GM is mostly whole spices ground and used in foods to add to the spice level of the dish. One can't be replace with another and bot are awesome. We have a video on how to make basic Garam Masala. Check out our youtube channel or our website.

[shakalakaboomboom09]

wow thats was so good im hungry hetal lolz

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Yes, you can do without it. But we are pretty sure if you go to some Indian/ South Asian stores you will find it.

[beachkrp]

This recipe reminds me of a Monte Cristo Sandwich, which I just recently learned to make. You might consider putting a Monte Cristo sandwich on your fusion page. I can't think of how to "Indianize it",unless you wanted to put a little bit of Besan, with maybe some cumin powder and chilie powder in the batter. But it would still be a good video (and quick) to do as is..

[hhharik]

good work

[hhharik]

you ladies are rely helping me cook during my weekends

[ktrini1953]

where is the nutritional value in this dish cabs fat thats very unheathy

[irfand4]

Why not cut it into 4 before frying them ? They'll not only be less bulky but will also be surrounded on all sides by the batter.

[yadave86]

if you dont like the ketchup you could even use maggi hot and sweet sauce and also, my mom makes these a lot and she uses dried out french bread (not when you first get it but when its totally dry and super hard and unchewable lol-i know this sounds gross but it just takes a day to dry out so its not big deal). just coat in the besan paste and fry. they turn out great and are not super soggy either!

[EliteXtasy]

Ketchup??? Many of your recipes are too Westernized!

[plove2u]

na... you can also use tomato sauce (indianised) they have used ketchup for simplicity... only otherwise both of them taste good..

[beachkrp]

Uh... The tomato originated from Mexico. No tomatoes in Europe or Asia prior to Columbus.

Thus ANY recipe or curry with tomatos, Murgh Makhani, the Punjabi masala, etc are "Westernized".

Same goes for chilies, and bell peppers. Same for the potato These vegetables are from Central and South America.Thus any dish with these (and it appears that EVERY dish contains chilies), Methi Aloo, Masala Dosa (which uses potato masala) etc, are by your definition "Westernized"

[EliteXtasy]

Uh... Mexico may be in North America, but it's not a Western country! The Indian dishes you have named aren't Westernized as it wasn't introduced by Europeans. There are many species of fruit and vegetable that were originated in the Indian subcontinent, such as the naga jolokia - a chilli. So no, not every dish with chillies are South American or what you incorrectly call "Westernized".

[beachkrp]

The chili pepper originated in Mexico. While there may be cultivars and hybrids that may have developed elsewhere, without the discovery of America and the dispersal of chillis, tomatos, bell peppers, potatoes, etc throughout the world, those ingredients would not be available. Who cares about whether a dish was introduced by Europeans or not? Without the Europeans exploring the New World, those ingredients would not be available for Indians to experiment with.

[beachkrp]

@EliteXtasy what about "vindaloo'.? Do you even know where the name "vindaloo" comes from? The first syllable comes from the Portuguese word for wine "vino", because this dish was created in the Portuguese port of Goa.

[EliteXtasy]

@beachkrp I'm already aware that Vindaloo is a dish invented during the Portuguese rule of South India. That doesn't necessarily mean that it was made by a Portuguese person nor was Portuguese-inspired (clearly not). I haven't yet come across a South Asian person who eats Vindaloo. Chicken Tikka Masala is a British dish invented in the UK by Indian-born chefs.

[zairt]

@beachkrp what kind of vague interpretation is that..:)

[munni519]

well..i wud love to try this...bu t i hav some questions...

can i use maida instead of besan flour?

i dont hav chaat masala and bakin soda can i skip dat?

wat is roasted cumin powder?

[missoni2009]

that sucked looked good. I've never tasted a bread pakoda with a filling of chutney and tomato ketchup. We normally make bread pakoda with just the batter coating and fried. Though it's so heavy because of the besan and bread taking up so much of the oil, it tastes amazing. But sometimes all i taste it the oil and that sucks, so maybe this defeats the purpose of the bread PAKODHA but i wring out the oil with a paper towel. I hope I get to eat this on a non exam week also.

[missoni2009]

"sucked" = Sucker

[yadave86]

yeah this can be fixed if you use french bread (check the post I just did with my mom's recipe). that helps so much in regards to the oiliness of the dish

[exoticbeb]

That's very very easy, I am always running out of ideas. But I shall try this on a non-exam week! Thanks.

[kohlerman8]

Interesting recipe but I wish that you had used a healthier bread than white fluff sandwich bread. How about using a nice dark whole grain bread?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Great idea...we're sure it will taste great although the texture may be different.

[missoni2009]

some unhealthy things just don't taste with a healthy bread, the white bread is necessary no? it'll be nice to try it with whole wheat bread though, but it may not taste as good. Good job ladies

[neil2090]

in fiji when i go they have boiled potato in it and tomato sauce on it!! it the bomb

[anchal123456789]

show me the curry! is that hot like the chilly on your apron.

[clarivoyant]

thank for the nice recipe

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Just search on our channel for Mint Chutney. We have a very easy recipe.

[dkjk2005]

hey can u plzzzz show how u make Mint chutney

plzzzzzz!

[greyblackwhite]

Thanks, I'l try it.

[greyblackwhite]

looks delicious, but it must be a little oily, the bread absorbs alot of oil.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Actually, it is as oily as any pakoda, no more. The bread is coated with the besan (chick pea flour batter) so the oil never reaches the bread.

[praveensoora]

can you please show us how to make 'Baakhar Vaadi'.

Thank you...

[chatzafar]

can you please show the recipe when you want a potato stuffing in your pakora? would really appreciate it

[lavinaisrani2003]

wow

[anjurtupil1]

C'mon ladies... you guys can do better than just mint chutney and ketchup !!

Bring out the potatoes..the paneer make it worth the effort !!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

yumm! That sounds great too! Will have to give it a try. Thanks!

[DadiJaan14]

u guys shallow fried it! I guess deep frying would have been much more effective! - Dadi Jaan

[disneylover45]

ketchup and mint chutney give nice blend of colour to the recipe...i like it.

[hellosun12345]

I have done this pakoda. my recipe is much better and yummy.

[kajubaju]

umm not to sure about this one. just ketchup and chutney...
