When we moved to Noida in 1992, there was a shop in Sector 18, selling these bread pakoras. We used to have on Sundays sometimes. Now, I guess, it’s time to try these potato paneer bread pakoras with your recipe at home. Less calories than the market ones! and this is the perfect time to make them also–the rains.

Bread pakoras were my favourite until I decided to go on diet and stopped eating fried foods. Sigh. I’m so tempted right now! These look too good and paneer will make them better. Going to make this for my family. They’ll love it.
