To prepare the batter, take besan or gram flour in a bowl.

Add chilli powder, turmeric powder, pinch of asafoetida and salt, mix everything.

Meanwhile, heat enough oil in deep bottom pan.

Gradually, add water to make and whisk well to make lump free batter.

Consistency should be good enough to coat a back of spoon.

Gently, lift the stuffed bread and dip in a batter ensuring both the sides and edges also coats well.

Carefully, slide the coated bread into hot oil.

Deep fry them from both the sides on medium flame until golden and crisp.

Take them out and place onto absorbent paper.

Notes

Adjust the spiciness as per your liking.

Be sure not to leave stuffed in better for long time as this makes the bread soggy and it might break. So it is always best to coat the stuffed bread one by one at a time in batter

Deep fry the pakoras on medium flame after the oil heats up well. Do not fry them in smoking hot oil on very high flame as it will burn the pakoras and batter will remain uncooked within.
