Bread Snack

Bread Snack is a favorite iftar item at our home. We love these bread snacks and enjoy them with a sweet tangy dipping sauce or a spicy chutney accompanied by a cup of chai. You can also enjoy them as an evening tea time snack or serve them as a starter snack at parties. #ambassador

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Boil or steam the potato in a pressure cooker or steamer till it is completely cooked. When the potato becomes warm, then peel it. Grate and keep aside. You can also mash and keep aside. Add the coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilli, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, amchur powder, salt to the grated potatoes. Mix the spices & herbs very well with the mashed potatoes. Check the seasonings and adjust accordingly. Keep aside.

* Step 2

In a bowl, take the besan (gram flour), ajwain, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, asafoetida, baking soda (optional) and salt. Now add around ½ cup of water and mix very well. The batter should not be very thick nor too thin. If it is too thick, then add more water. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of hot oil when you keep the oil for deep frying in the batter. Mix well. Whisk briskly non-stop for 1 to 2 minutes to incorporate some air into the besan batter.

* Step 3

On the chopping board, cut the bread into circles. Take around 2 to 3 tablespoon of the mashed potato mixture and spread it on the bread evenly. Cover this potato-stuffed slice with another slice. You now have a triangular bread sandwich. Just slightly press the sandwich. Take the entire sandwich in your hand and dip it in the besan batter. Coat the stuffed bread sandwich evenly with the besan batter. Be gentle with the sandwich.
