Classic Bread Bhaja

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut each slice of white bread into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the gram flour, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.

3. 3

   Gradually add water to the dry mixture to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

4. 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

5. 5

   Dip each piece of bread into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated on all sides.

6. 6

   Carefully place the coated bread pieces into the hot oil.

7. 7

   Fry the bread pieces until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, turning occasionally.

8. 8

   Remove the bread bhaja from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

9. 9

   Serve hot as a snack or appetizer.
