Instructions
Start with slicing off the corners of the bread and then cutting them in small square shapes.
Keep the bread pieces on a plate to create less mess.
When you are done transfer the bread in a mixing bowl and pour a cup of milk on it.
Then add half a cup of yogurt, salt to taste and two teaspoons of sooji in it.
Now, add chopped dried fruits- raisins, cashews, pistachios and almonds in the bowl.
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.
Deep fry them until they are golden brown and then take them out in a plate and keep them aside.
For cooking in Appe 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 they are cooked take them out with a spoon/knife and transfer them on a plate.
When you are ready to serve it, dip the balls in a small bowl of water for a minute and squeeze them out.
Keep them on a serving plate, add some chilled yogurt, tamarind chutney, some crushed dried fruits, and salt or red chili powder on top.
Serve them and enjoy with your friends and family.
Rekha's Notes
- Keep a constant tab on the vadas so that they don’t get burned from the bottom.
- 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.
