Stuffed Bread Pakora

Also known as bread fritters

Indian households often wonder what to serve with afternoon tea, but we have a variety of pakoras (fritters) and farsans (fried snacks) to go along with that! Bread is used in many of these afternoon snacks and one popular snack is bread pakora. Make it simple or stuffed like the one I am presenting it to you!
