Bread vadas in sweet & sour curd || Quick Recipe
Dahi Vada is a lip-smacking Indian delicacy, which can be prepared using some easily available ingredients in your kitchen. In fact, Dahi Vada is a famous North Indian side dish that you can enjoy anytime. Therefore, today, I will be sharing a different type of dahi vada made from milk bread. We call it ‘Bread Dahi Vadas’.
What is Dahi Vada?
Basically, a Dahi vada is a daal fritter soaked in creamy curd or yogurt. Once made, this delectable snack is topped with tamarind chutney and green mint chutney.
Additionally, this can be garnished with ground spices like cumin powder, red chilli powder and chaat masala.
However, making authentic Daal Dahi vada takes time. So, when you have unannounced guests at home, this Instant Bread Dahi Vadas can be prepared in a short time. In fact, the same is included in my quick menu as it takes just 10 min to make this dahi vada.
What is the difference?
Dahi vada is generally made only with urad dal. While bread dahi vada has bread and paneer in it.
Well made and well soaked bread dahi vada have a melt in the mouth texture with the crunchiness of nuts. It is very healthy too, as these vadas are not fried. Moreover, the sweet and sour tamarind chutney and flavourful spicy green mint chutneys compliment the taste immensely. Various spices add flavour to it.
How to make?
Making bread dahi vada is quite easy, except there is a bit preparation work. Here are the brief steps :
- Great the paneer and chop coriander and chillies
- Making tamarind chutney
- Making green chutney
- Cut sides of the bread
- Assembling dahi vada
You can easily make chutneys a day prior. In fact, I always have tamarind chutney ready in my fridge I make it in bulk and store it in a jar as it has a good shelf life. However, I prefer to make the green mint chutney fresh on the same day
