BREAD MEDU VADA



I have already shared my recipe for Medu Vada  which is with urad dal . A very popular South Indian food especially served for breakfast or snack in street stalls and tiffin centers. The vada/ fritters made with urad dal are called as Medu Vada/ Medhu Vadai in Tamil and Garelu in Telugu. They often Served with tiffin sambar and coconut chutney. The kind made using chana dal are called Masala Vadai or Chana Dal Vada. These are served with chutney as a tea time snack.  But this recipe of medu vada is different because it is with bread , rice flour and rawa/ suji.  


INGREDIENTS:

10-12 Bread Slices [whole wheat/multigrain/ white bread]

½ Cup Rice Flour

¼ Cup Rawa /Sooji/ Samolina

¾ Cup Curd

2-3 Green Chillies, chopped finely

½ teaspoon Ginger, finely chopped

1 Strand Curry Leaves, finely chopped

1 Onion, chopped finely

2-3 tablespoon Chopped Coriander

Salt as per taste


METHOD:

STEP 1 –  Remove the sides of bread and crumble the bread slices. [See note]

STEP 2 – Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and

  knead a dough with curd.

STEP 3 – Now divide the dough equally.

STEP 4 – Heat oil in a wide pan .

STEP 5 - Take one small portion and  flatten it like vada using a little water on your palms.

STEP 6 – Now make a whole in the centre and deep fry it.

STEP 7 – The same way make the rest of the vada’s and fry them till golden brown.
Drain the excess oil and

serve them hot with sambar and coconut chutney.
