Veggies and Cheese Toast Pakora... 

Veggies and Cheese Toast Pakora... 





This is an ideal breakfast or snack for a rainy day with a garam /hot cuppa of Chai /Tea.... Today since it is raining heavily from morning, I am only thinking of pakoras and bhajiyas... Ufffff.... Could not resist my thoughts.. Finally had to make some thing fried.
This is an in between version of French toast and Bread Pakora. I have added vegetables, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese and green chutney for stuffing the bread and the batter is made with egg, baking powder, flour and cornstarch. It is crispy and filling too  with all veggies. It is eaten hot with green chutney and ketchup.
You can add any filling of your choice...

To make the Toast Pakora

Oil for frying

Method
Take 2 pieces of bread. Apply the green chutney on one bread and spread the stuffing on another. Place one piece of bread over the other. Cut it into a triangle. Repeat the process for other bread pieces. Take a frying pan. Add the oil and let it heat. Take 4 pieces of the triangle cut bread, dip it into the batter and fry it in the oil until brown in colour from both the sides. Take it out from the oil and keep it on the absorbent paper. Serve it hot with chutney, ketchup and garam chai, and enjoy the rains...
