Ensure batter is lump-free and thick enough to coat bread without being too runny.
2
Prepare and Dip Bread: Trim the crusts off the bread slices and cut each slice into 2-4 pieces (triangles or squares) as desired. Dip each bread piece fully into the prepared onion batter, ensuring it's evenly coated on all sides.

Gently press the coated bread to remove any excess batter before frying for a crispier pakora.

3
Deep Fry Pakoras: Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat until hot. Carefully place the batter-coated bread pieces into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
