- Mix gram flour, rice flour, turmeric, red chilli powder, salt and baking soda in a vessel. Prepare a thick and smooth batter by adding water slowly. Keep in mind that the solution should neither be too thin nor too thick.
- Heat oil in a pan. Dip the prepared bread sandwich thoroughly in the gram flour solution and put it in hot oil. Fry on medium flame until golden and crisp on both sides.
- Take out the fried pakodas on tissue paper to remove excess oil. Serve them hot with green chutney, tamarind chutney or tomato sauce.
