Vegetable dahi vada step by step instructions:

Dahi vadas are very tasty but preparing the vadas requires some amount of time. What if you are able to make instant dahi vadas and that too very healthy?

Yes, today we will see how to make vegetable dahi vadas. For the outer covering, we will be using bread.

Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
Tomato: 2 medium (deseeded and finely chopped)
Cucumber: 1 small (deseeded and finely chopped)
Cabbage: 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
Onion: 1 medium (finely chopped)
Kidney beans (rajma): 2 tbsp (boiled)
White bread: 6 slices (brown edges removed)
Red chili powder: ½ tsp
Chaat masala: 1 tsp
Curd: 1 cup (beaten)
Green chutney: 6-7 tbsp
Date and Tamarind (Imli) chutney: 8 tbsp
Salt as per taste

Method:
1. Take tomatoes, cucumber, onion, cabbage and kidney beans in a bowl and mix well.

2. Now add salt, red chili powder and chaat masala to the mixture prepared above. Mix well.
3. Take one slice of bread and dip in water. Take it out immediately and remove excess water by pressing it in between your palms.

4. Take a tbsp. of the mixture and put it on the bread.

5. Close the bread and form a ball out of it.

6. Similarly, do for the remaining bread slices.

7. Now take one vada in a bowl. Put curd, green chutney and tamarind chutney over it.

8. Garnish with red chili powder.

9. Serve immediately.

Tips:

1. Don’t keep the bread in water for too long otherwise the bread will become very soggy and proper vadas won’t be formed.
2. Add salt to the vegetable mixture only when you are preparing the vadas.
3. I was falling short of coriander leaves, so did not add. You can add it for enhanced flavor.
4. You can take any veggie of your choice.
5. Kidney beans can be replaced by chickpeas or sprouts.
