Cooking Tips

• Make sure the potato filling is well-seasoned to enhance the flavor of the bread pakoras.
• You can add finely chopped onions, green chilies, or coriander leaves to the potato filling for extra taste.
• To make the spinach and carrot puree, blanch the spinach leaves and grated carrot separately, then blend them into a smooth paste.
• Adjust the spices in the batter according to your taste preferences.
• For a healthier version, you can also bake the bread pakoras instead of deep-frying them.

Storage and Serving

• Tiranga Bread Pakoras are best served hot and crispy.
• You can store any leftover pakoras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the pakoras in a preheated oven or air fryer for a few minutes until they become crispy again.
• Serve the reheated pakoras with mint chutney or ketchup.
