When the seeds crackle, add the curry leaves and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds. Add the potatoes, green peas, turmeric powder, ginger-green chilli paste, coriander and salt, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes. Mixture for stuffing is ready!! Further, to proceed making the bread pakora. Place a slice of bread on a clean, dry and flat surface and spread a portion of the aloo masala evenly over it. Place another slice of bread over it, press lightly and cut it diagonally into 2 equal pieces. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai, dip one piece at a time in the batter and deep-fry on a medium flame till it turns crisp and golden brown in colour from both the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper. Serve Punjabi bread pakora with aloo stuffing immediately with meetha chutney, teekha chutney or sukha lehsun ka chutney.

I tried this recipe. It was delicious as an evening snack. If onions and purina is added it will be more slurpy.
