Baked Pakode

I always look for alternatives to deep frying. Some work and some don't. This is one dish that tastes just as good when baked. I add in a handful of chopped spinach and a grated carrot to make this a complete meal. The gram flour provide the protein.

Gram Flour/Besan - 1 cup

Semolina/Rava - 2 tbsp

Chopped Green Chilis - 2

Sliced Onion - 1

Grated carrot - 1

Chopped Spinach - 1 cup

Bread slice - 1

Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp

Salt - to taste

Chili powder - 1 tsp

Garam masala - 1 tsp

Oil - 1 tsp

In a bowl, add the all the above ingredients, sprinkle some water and mix well. The mixture should be thick. 

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray an aluminium foil or a baking dish with non stick spray, and spoon the mixture onto it. Bake for 10 min on one side, turn over and cook till done. Serve with dipping sauce of your choice.
