    If you are familiar with Indian cuisine or Punjabi Cuisine. Dahi Vada are soft deep fried lentil dumpling which we make with yellow moong dal or white urad dal. These are usually topped with chilled curd, chutneys and spices. Drooling already? Well I am! 😀

    This is one of very popular street food recipe. But the real deal aka Dal Vada takes time to make. All that pre soaking and grinding. It's a sweet labour of love.

    If you want to Try authentic Punjabi Dahi Bhalle or Chaat recipe you can try this Aloo Tikki Chaat,  Dahi Vada Papdi Chaat  

    What Are Shahi Dahi Vada

    Shahi Dahi Vada are almost similar except these are slightly rich because dried fruits and nuts are added in the recipe. In this recipe I have added nuts and raisins for extra crunch, richness as well as sweetness. If that counts as Shahi then Yes these are shahi Vadas.

    Tips and Tricks to Make Best Bread Dahi Vada

    • Use while bread for best taste. Make sure to remove corners and sides. That will give you soft as a cloud Dahi vada taste.
    • To Serve Bread Vada make sure to whip yogurt/curd to creamy texture, because that makes a lot of difference in taste.
    • Do not skip on roasted cumin/bhuna jeera which is coarsely  roasted, It pairs so well with dahi.
    • Not just that, to add that little crunch there is those red pearls of pomegranate as well.
    • Unlike traditional Dahi bada, these bread vada do not require a long soaking time. Just soak the for few seconds and take them out immediately. Because these are made with bread and with too much water it breaks easily.

    How to Make Non Fried Instant Bread Dahi Vada

    This is not only quick and Instant recipe to make, but a non fried too. These vada are not deep fried. I have cooked in Appe / Paniyaram pan also kind of aebleskiver pan with minimal oil. So, this is actually a low-fat recipe compared to regular version.

    So, if you are on healthy eating side today then skip mentally calculating the calories and follow this recipe prep that will take you to a plate full of non-fried mouthwatering Instant Bread Dahi Vadas.

    I am sharing Shahi vada recipe by both frying and non-frying methods. Step by step recipe instructions are given below.

    How To Make Instant Dahi Vada (Video Recipe)

    To make the non-fried/ appe pan version of Instant Bread Dahi Vada cut bread into square pieces and soak them in milk.

    To the bowl add yogurt, sooji/semolina, and chopped dry fruits. When you are mixing the vadas do not add excess water as we need the batter to be thick enough to be easily mixed.

    When you are dropping spoonfuls of batter in the appe pan, make sure that you brush some oil in the pan.

    Also that the pan is hot when you are pouring the batter otherwise it won’t cook properly.

    Try to pour the batter in the shape of round dumplings.

    Cook them covered for 10-15 Minutes, make sure to turn them over in between to prevent burning and even cooking.

    Take them out of the pan after cooking. Soak them in water for a minute and then take out immediately.

    Squeeze out excess water, put them on serving plate and top with chilled yogurt, tamarind chutney, green chutney, salt red chilli powder, roasted cumin and enjoy chilled.

    • Then add half a cup of yogurt, salt to taste and two teaspoons of sooji in it.

    • Mix all the ingredients well and keep them aside.
    • Now, if you wish to Deep Fry-
    • Heat some oil in a pan.
    • When the oil is hot enough carefully drop the vadas in the pan.

    • Place appe pan on the stove and brush some oil in it.
    • When it is hot enough pour a spoonful of vada batter in the pan.
    • Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes. Keep checking the vadas so that they don’t burn. Turn them over once or twice to cook from all the sides.

    • When you are ready to serve it, dip the balls in a small bowl of water for a minute and squeeze them out.

    Notes

    • take care not to keep them in water for longer period as these are made with bread these will break easily.
    • If you want you can add sugar to the curds, or temper it with mustard and curry leaves.
