Bread Vada – a delicious deep-fried patty that goes perfectly well with a cup of coffee or chai. This delicious and indulgent instant version vada made with white bread slices, few spices and vegetables have a crispy outside and soft inside.
It is an instant vada recipe, so make sure not to prepare the dough in advance or allow it to sit for a long time as the moisture from yogurt and onion alters the dough consistency and vada tend to break while frying in oil.
This is one of the clever ways to use up leftover or stale bread. Bread vada tastes good with tomato ketchup, Yogurt Mint Sauce, Green Chutney or Sweet Tamarind Sauce.
Bread Vada Recipe Variations
Shredded cabbage, spinach makes a great addition.
You could add a handful of crushed peanuts for a crunchy texture.

Ingredients
Bread: I’ve used white bread. You may use wholemeal bread, millet bread or any kind of soft bread.
Vegetables: Onion, green chillies, carrot, ginger.
Herbs: Curry leaves, coriander and mint are used to infuse more flavours.
Whole & Dry Spices: I’ve used the most common spices cumin and chilli powder.
Liquids: Oil for deep frying and yogurt as a binding agent.
Flour: Rice flour is used to get crispy texture.
Instructions
Roughly crumble bread slices in a blender.
Place crumbled bread and rest of the ingredients in a deep bowl.
Combine well to form a soft dough.
Grease hands with oil, take a lime size ball and make medium-thick patties.
Fry vadas in oil.
Drain vadas over paper towel.
Enjoy delicious crispy and hot Bread Vada with tomato ketchup or any chutney…..
Notes
Do not add water as yogurt act as a binding agent which is sufficient to combine all the ingredients.
Adjust chili powder and green chilies as per your preferred spice levels.
You can break bread into small pieces with hands instead of crumbling them blender.
Not just fresh bread even stale or leftover bread can be used.
Do not prepare the dough in advance or allow it to sit for a long time as yogurt and onion release moisture that makes vada to break while frying in oil. Always prepare the dough and fry vadas immediately.
