  • 1 cupGrated cottage cheese (paneer)
  • 1/2 cupGrated processed cheese
  • 1/2 cupBoiled sweet corns
  • 1/2 cupFinely chopped carrots
  • 1 medium sizedFinely chopped onions
  • 1/4 cupFinely chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • 1 tbspThick curd
  • 1 tspSalt
  • 1/2 tspSugar
  • 1/2 tspCrushed black peppercorns
  • 1 tspPizza seasoning
  • 1/2 tspChilli flakes
  • 1/2 tspGarlic powder

For the Slurry & Assembly

  • 1 tbspAll purpose flour (maida)
  • as requiredWater
  • as requiredWhite bread slices
  • for fryingOil

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1.Prepare the Stuffing

    In a large bowl, combine grated cottage cheese, grated processed cheese, boiled sweet corns, finely chopped carrots, finely chopped onions, finely chopped fresh coriander leaves, and thick curd. Add salt, sugar, crushed black peppercorns, pizza seasoning, chilli flakes, and garlic powder. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2.Make the Slurry

    In a small bowl, take 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Gradually add water, mixing continuously, until you get a thick, smooth slurry. This will be used to seal the bread pockets.

  3. 3.Prepare Bread Discs

    Take a slice of white bread and roll it thinly using a rolling pin. This step is crucial for crispiness and reduced oil absorption. Using a round cutter (like a bowl or lid), cut out circular discs from the rolled bread slice. Discard the crusts. Repeat this process for all desired bread slices.

  4. 4.Assemble the Bread Pockets

    Take two bread discs. Place a generous amount of the prepared stuffing in the center of one disc, ensuring to leave the edges clear. Apply the prepared slurry around the edges of both bread discs. Carefully place the second bread disc on top of the first, covering the stuffing. Press firmly around the edges with your fingers to create a tight seal, ensuring no open spaces remain. This prevents the stuffing from leaking during frying.

  5. 5.Fry the Bread Pockets

    Heat oil in a pan or kadhai over medium heat. Once the oil is medium hot, gently place the assembled bread pockets into the oil. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping occasionally. Ensure the oil is not too hot (to prevent burning) or too cold (to prevent excessive oil absorption). Remove the fried bread pockets and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

  6. 6.Serve

    Serve the crispy cheesy bread pockets hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup. Enjoy the crunchy exterior and creamy, flavorful interior!
