Ingredients
Mango filling:
- 1 cup chopped ripe and firm mangoes
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp white sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Others:
- 8-10 slices white bread
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs beaten
- cooking oil for frying
Instructions
For the mango filling:
-
Place all the ingredients for the mango filling in a heatproof bowl. Mix everything and microwave for 1-2 minutes until it resembles a paste. Let it cool before using as a filling.
Others:
-
Cut the sides (brown part) of the bread. (The brown part of the bread can be used as breadcrumbs after they have dried out - don’t throw them.) Now, you’ll have the white part only - flatten this using a rolling pin or a bottle.
-
Place about 1 tbsp of the mango pie filing on top of the flattened white bread.
-
Brush the sides (only half side) of the bread with beaten egg to serve as a “glue”. Fold the other half, press and seal using a fork.
-
Coat the filled mango bread pie with beaten egg and then with breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
-
In a pan over medium heat, add oil. When the oil is hot, fry the mango bread pie until all sides are golden brown. Transfer the fried mango bread pies on a plate with a stack of paper towels to drain excess oil.
-
Enjoy immediately.
