STEPS
INGREDIENTS
Grab your bread slices. Ideally day old bread. Cut them roughly as small as you can. Include the crust.
Add yogurt. In absence of this leave one cup milk mixed with 1 tbsp white vinegar for 20 mins to stand before adding to the bread
Give it a quick mix
Add onion, ginger, green chilli or dried red chilli, cilantro and curry leaves.
Add rice flour
Add baking soda and salt. Mix all these. The batter must be firm and sticky. I am after a batter that can hold its shape. Next I add the toasted ingredients
Dry roast cumin seeds
Peanuts are optional. Dry roast them too
Add to the batter
Give it a final mix
Drain on absorbent paper
Serve it hot as it is. You may serve it with coriander chutney, coconut chutney, sambhar (vegetable & lentil stew), or yogurt.
Enjoy and give this a go. Traditional vadai is made with either urud dhal (black gram) or toor dhal (yellow pigeon peas). This bread vadai is a rather modern version.
