Stuffed Bread Pakora with a twist

Hi Friends .....
Bread Pakora yummy and favorite snack of all age group.
Have it in breakfast or with a cup of tea.....Normally we make bread pakora with chickpea flour but this time I tried in a different style....Using yellow moong dal batter.
I hope you all will like the way I made it !!!

Ingredients:
4 bread slices 
1 cup yellow moong dal 
Red chilly powder
Salt
Oil for frying

For stuffing:

4 boiled and mashed potatoes

1 onion (chopped)

Few garlic cloves (finely chopped)

2 green chilies (finely chopped)

Salt acc.to taste

1/4 tsp garam masala

Method:

To make pakora batter:

• Wash and clean dal, keep it for 2-3 hrs in required amount of water.
• Grind the dal into smooth paste.( It should not be too thick or too watery)
• Mix red chilly powder, salt and keep the batter aside.

To prepare stuffing:

• Heat 2 tbsp oil in non-stick pan.
• Add garlic, saute for few seconds.
• Add onions and saute till they become golden pink in colour.
• Add salt and garam masala. Mix well.
• Add mashed potatoes and mix nicely. 
• Cook on low flame fro 5-7 mins.
• Remove from fire and keep the mixture aside.

Now the final step:

• Heat oil in a kadhai.
• In the meanwhile cut bread slices into triangle shape.
• Spread the potato filling on one slice and cover it with another slice.
• Now dip stuffed bread slices in the dal batter, check that batter is well coated from all the sides.
• Drop one portion in hot oil. Fry from all the sides till it becomes golden brown in colour. (First I did shallow frying then I observed that the pakora was not fully cooked from all the sides then I switched my cooking method to deep frying)

• Serve hot with pudina chutney or tomato ketchup.
