Remove the crust from all sides of the bread. Slice the bread into triangles.
Mix all the dry ingredients together: Gram flour (besan), rice flour, asafetida, cumin seeds, and salt. Rice flour adds to the crispness. Add the water slowly to make a smooth batter. (Batter should be the consistency of pancake batter or dosa batter)
Next, add the green chilies and cilantro. Mix well.
Dip the bread slices in the batter one at a time and slowley drop into the frying pan.
Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium high heat.To check if the oil is ready, put one drop of batter in the oil. The batter should come up but not change colour right away. Fry the Pakoras in small batches. The pakoras will take about 4 to 5 minutes to cook.
Turn them occasionally. Fry the Pakoras until both sides are golden-brown. Repeat this process. The crispy, delicious Bread Pakoras are ready to serve.Serve hot with sauce and Chutney.
