This was my evening snack on the occassion of valentines day.I had earlier posted recipe for plain bread pakora on my site.There are two types of bread pakora:plain bread pakora and stuffed bread pakora .
The stuffed bread pakora is stuffed with a filling of mashed potatoes, dipped in besan and deep fried. One can be innovative in making the filling. Though, mashed potatoes is a common filling in India, there are other fillings that can be used, like, paneer (cottage cheese filling), soya granules filling and even cheese.
