Healthy Bread Dahi Vada

I love dahi vada like many of you do. A popular Indian chat, prepared by soaking fried vadas in thick dahi. And whenever I get a chance to eat this delicious chaat, I never refuse to . But the hard-work required for making the vadas by soaking the dal overnight and then making the batter for the vadas is what makes me re-think every time I thought of making them at home. Then I saw this version of dahi vada made of bread first on a food channel and I found it super easy and super healthy too as there was no deep oil frying required here. Tried and tested in my kitchen yesterday when I wanted to have something spicy but keeping the calories in mind. Do check this very easy to assemble recipe and also try in your kitchen as evening snacks.

Ingredients:

Bread: 4 slices (I use brown bread. you can use white bread as well and quantity as per your servings)
Curd: 4-5 tbsp. add few drops of water and beat it. Add salt, cumin powder and mix
Tamarind chutney: 1 tbsp. (mine was home-made, you can always use store bought)
salt to taste
Chilli powder: 1/2 tsp (depends on your taste. I used 1/2 tsp as my home-made tamarind chutney was already spicy enough)
Cumin Powder: 1 tsp
Chat-Masala: 1 tsp
Fresh chopped coriander as required
Sufficient water to soak the bread slices

Direction:

Take water in a bowl and soak one bread and press them with your hands to squeeze the water and give ball shape out of it. If you want you can flatten the balls between the palms of your hands to give a circle shape or vada like shape. Repeat the same for rest of the slices.

Now arrange the vadas in a serving bowl and top with the beaten curd. Garnish with chilli powder, tamarind chutney, chat masala & chopped coriander.  Keep in the refrigerator and serve chill.
