ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bread pakora

Okay, kiddo, let me explain what bread pakora is. Have you ever had a sandwich? Well, bread pakora is kind of similar, but it's actually fried bread coated in a mixture of chickpea flour and spices.

Here's how it works: first, you take bread slices and cut them into halves or quarters. Then, you make a batter by mixing chickpea flour with water, salt, and a few spices like cumin powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder.

Next, you coat each bread slice in this batter and deep-fry it in hot oil until it turns crispy and golden brown. Finally, you serve the bread pakora hot with some ketchup, mint chutney, or tamarind chutney.

So there you have it, bread pakora is a delicious Indian snack that's made by deep-frying bread slices coated in a spiced chickpea flour batter. Yum!
