Things to remember while making Bread Pakora –
1. Make sure the potato stuffing is cooled down before using, else it will make the bread soggy.
2. The batter should neither be too thick nor thin. Drop the batter from height and it should not form ribbon on the surface. It should be mixed with the batter.
3. Maintain the temperature of oil through out. Too cold will result in oily pakoras and too hot will lead to under cooked pakoras.
4. Deep fry pakoras right after stuffing the filling else it will get soggy. The chutney and ketchup will make it soggy.
