Step 4
Now we will take 1 bread slice and spread the potato stuffing evenly on all sides and then press another bread slice on top of it. Using a sharp knife, cut the bread slices into desired triangular shapes or equal parts from the center. Prepare the remaining bread slices in the same way by applying potato stuffing to them.

When the cooking oil becomes medium hot, put a drop of gram flour paste in it and see if the drop floats and comes to the top. It means that our oil has been heated properly to make pakodas.
Step 6
Now we will put a stuffed bread slice inside the thick paste of gram flour and with the help of a spoon, we will apply the gram flour paste evenly on the bread slice. After it is well coated, we will pick it up with our hands and carefully put the stuffed slice inside the hot oil.
Step 7
After putting the bread slices in the pan, keep pouring hot oil over the slices with the help of a spoon. After about 20 seconds, carefully flip the bread slices with a slotted spoon and fry the bread slices till they turn golden on both sides while flipping them. Keep the flame medium hot.

Fry the remaining stuffing bread slices in the same way and take them out on a plate on tissue paper. So our hot Bread Pakoda is ready. Cut them in the middle place them on a serving plate and serve with delicious green coriander mint chutney, tomato ketchup, and tea.
