The combination of potatoes and bread provides a significant amount of complex carbohydrates, which are the body's primary source of energy.
The batter is made from besan (chickpea flour), which is a good source of plant-based protein, essential for muscle maintenance and repair.
Spices like ajwain (carom seeds) and hing (asafoetida) are traditionally used in Indian cooking to aid digestion and prevent bloating.
Aloo Bread Pakora is a deep-fried snack, which makes it high in calories and fat. It is best enjoyed occasionally and in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
A single piece (one triangle) of Aloo Bread Pakora contains approximately 250-300 calories, depending on its size and the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
Sogginess can be caused by several factors: the potato filling was still warm when stuffed, the batter was too thin, or the oil was not hot enough, causing the pakora to absorb excess oil instead of crisping up.
Bread pakoras are best served fresh and hot for maximum crispiness. You can prepare the potato filling and the batter in advance, but it's recommended to assemble and fry them just before serving.
Yes, you can use brown bread or whole wheat bread. The texture might be slightly denser, but it will work well and add more fiber to the snack.
