Bread Vada is a simple and easy appetiser with most of the ingredients readily available in kitchen. This instant vada is crispy outside and soft inside infused with flavours of many vegetables, yogurt and few spices. This recipe does not require any water as yogurt act as binding agent which is sufficient to combine all the ingredients. It is an instant vada recipe, so make sure not to prepare dough in advance or allow it to sit for 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, mint sauce, mint and coriander chutney or sweet tamarind sauce.
