Method:

  For the filling:
Mash the potatoes and add all the spices and herbs .
Add only 1/2 tbs of chaat masala to this mixture.
Mix all the ingredients and make a semi thick batter of gram flour and water(should come like a ribbon while pouring). Keep aside .
Take slices of bread, cut into half to form a triangle.
Apply the potato mixture on both  slices on one side. Place a slice of cottage cheese on one slice and cover it with the other slice of bread. A raw sandwiched Bread Pakora is ready . Prepare other following the procedure mentioned.
Heat oil in a kadahi(wok).
Dip each raw bread pakora in the batter and coat it properly from all sides.
Fry them on medium flame till they turn golden brown from both sides. Place it on an absorbent paper.
Cut the fried bread pakora  into half and fry once again to make it more crispier. Place them again on an absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Sprinkle the remaining chaat masala on hot Bread Pakora to enrich its taste.....
