Method:

1. Place the corn and water in a pan, bring to the boil and cook for about 3 minutes until tender. Drain well. Dip the bread slices in water for 30 seconds then squeeze out all the water with the palms of your hands.

2. Place the bread in a bowl with the cooked corn and the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly then divide into 12 equal portions.

3. Put a few drops of oil on the palm of your hand. Take one portions of the corn mixture and roll it into a smooth round shape.

4. Continue with the remaining pakoras while you heat the oil over a medium heat. Gently slip 6 pakoras into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, turning a few times while cooking. Serve hot with chutney and barfi at tea.
