Steps

1

1. Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, add cumin seeds, chopped ginger & garlic.
2

2. When the garlic & ginger turn golden, add all the spice powders, salt and mashed potatoes.
3

3. Mix well and turn the heat off. Add the lime juice and chopped cilantro for garnish.
4

4. Once the potato mixture cools down, divide the mixture into 10-12 equal portions and shape them into pin pong sized balls.
5

5. Mix the chickpea flour, salt and chilli powder. Add water in small quantities & mix well until you make a pancake (or dosa) like batter.
6

6. Heat up the oil for frying.
7

7. Check if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small blob of batter in. The blob of batter sinks and rise up to the top 10 sec. Now, the oil is of the perfect temperature.
8

8. Coat each ball with the batter and drop into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the oil (it brings down the temperature of oil all of a sudden).
9

9. When they turn golden, drain them onto some paper towels. Set Aside.

10. For the bread baskets, cut the bread into a discs using a cutter or just cut the crusts off.
11

11. Flatten out the bread discs slightly using a rolling pin.
12

12. Grease a muffin pan and set the rolled out bread discs in it as shown in the picture.
13

13. Bake at 350°F for 5-7 min or until it gets toasted slightly. We do not want the bread to dry up. It has to be like toast; crispy outer layer but soft.
14

14. Once done, Set aside and cool the baskets for 5 minutes.
15

15. When you are ready to serve, start assembling the vada pav bites.
