Bread pakora with paneer slice chunks is a popular North Indian street food snack featuring savory, fried sandwiches. This beloved treat consists of creamy mashed Potato with spices & Indian cottage cheese (paneer) slices layered between slices of bread, which are then dipped in a spiced gram flour (besan) batter and deep-fried to crispy, golden-brown perfection.
Batter: Bread slices (typically cut into triangles or squares) are coated in a spiced batter made primarily of gram flour (besan).
Stuffing: Aloo bread pakora, or potato-stuffed bread pakora, is the most popular variety, with a savory, spiced mashed potato mixture layered between two bread slices.
Frying: The coated bread is then deep-fried until it achieves a crispy, golden brown exterior.
Texture and flavor: Bread pakora boasts a delightful contrast of textures: crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful inside. The potato filling adds a spicy and tangy element.
Serving: It’s usually served hot with chutneys (like green chutney or tamarind chutney) or ketchup. A cup of hot tea or masala chai is a common accompaniment.
