Bread Pakora

It is raining here in Pune. And what better way to spend the evening on a rainy day with bread pakoda on one hand and masala Chai in another. I ate this pakoda only after marriage, till then in Andhra we make pakodas with vegetables but not bread. Use normal bread not brown bread because it doesnt taste that well with brown bread. So use only normal white bread for that authentic Dilli type taste. 

Ingredients:

Besan(Bengal gram flour) - 1 Cup
Turmeric powder(haldi) - 1/4 tsp
