Description

• The Structure: Triangular sandwich slices dipped in a thick, seasoned chickpea flour (besan) batter and deep-fried until crunchy.
• The Filling: The most popular version is stuffed with a spicy, mashed potato mixture spiked with coriander, garam masala, and green chilies.
• The Plain Version: A simpler variation consists of just bread dipped in batter without any filling, often called plain bread pakoda.
• Accompaniments: It is invariably served hot with a side of tangy tamarind chutney, spicy green mint-coriander chutney, and a hot cup of masala chai.
