Fried Bread Potato balls/Fritters

Have some leftover bread?? Use it by making this wonderful snack!

Bread balls are delightful, mouth watering, fluffy snacks that groups of all age will love to have. It is basically a snack which is made by leftover bread filled with a mashed potato filling and coated by eggs and bread crumbs and then fried. They can be best served with yougurt dip/raita. I learned this snack from my mother in law after I got married. Just yumm!! I am in love with it since then. You can have them occasionally with tea. It is not actually that heavy, cox the egg coating on the bread prevents the bread from absorbing oil while frying and hence is light and tasty. Its a quick recipe and u can serve it in any of the evening parties. 

Here is its simple and easy recipe:

Ingredients:

You will need:

Potatoes                                             3-4 (boiled, peeled and mashed)
Black pepper                                      1/2 tsp.
Salt                                                     1/2 - 1 tsp.
Red chilli powder                                1/2 tsp.
Chaat masala                                       1 tsp.
Onion                                                  1 chopped finely
Cumin powder                                     1 tsp.

Coriander Leaves (dhanyia)                Few chopped
Bread                                                  8-10 slices (preferably leftover)

Beaten Egg                                         For Frying
Bread Crumbs                                    For frying
Oil                                                      For frying 

Procedure:

Mix boiled potatoes, all spices, onion and coriander leaves thoroughly. Adjust salt acc to ur taste.

Take a slice of bread; soak it in water and immediately take it out and drain its water by pressing very gently between your hands.

 Then take some mixture of potatoes, place it in the center and mold it in the form of a ball very very gently. You will end up into 10-12 bread balls. Its really easy. (You can also freeze them for future use :) )

When ready heat some oil, coat your bread balls first with the egg and then bread crumbs and fry them on medium heat. Take them out when they turn into light golden brown.

Delicious bread balls or pakoras are readyy!!! :) Serve them with any chutney/ketchup or raita, whatever you like :)
