Use this bread pakoda recipe to make a delicious vegetarian snack in
minutes.
Make it even more nutritious by using whole-wheat or whole-grain bread
instead of white bread. Bread that is 100% whole grain usually contains
brown rice and barley, and as such provides more protein, fiber, and
other nutrients than multigrain bread which has ingredients like
refined flour that are bad for you.

8 slices of white, whole-wheat, or multigrain bread
1 1/2 cups besan ( bengal gram flour)
