Bread Pakora is a popular Indian street food snack made by coating bread slices with a spiced chickpea flour batter and deep-frying until crispy and golden. The bread slices are typically stuffed with a flavorful potato filling before being dipped in the batter. The resulting pakoras are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a savory and spicy taste. They are often served with chutney or ketchup as a tea-time snack or as a delicious appetizer at parties and gatherings.
