Dahi Vada are undoubetedly the essence of the menu of any party and a must on Holi. Fried dumplings of lentils, covered with yoghurt and tamarind dip adds dollops of exoticness to any Indian menu.But making these dahi Vada is a bit lengthy process and requires time and planning. Apart from this, more and more people are switching over to healthy foods and thus do not want to have anything fried.In both these cases, these Oil-free No-Cook Dahi Vada are a boon and serves the purpose very well.These no-cook Dahi Vadas are made with bread. These are very much no cook and get ready very quickly but calling them instant would not be correct. Why I am saying so, will soon be clear to you.If you make these bread dahi vada as per this recipe, I bet no one will be able to make out that this is bread. I will be sharing a trick with you which will make all the difference.

Steps

1

Make the filling. For this take grated coconut, chopped nuts like almonds and cashews, raisins, chironji (cirotrgi), ginger julienne, pomegranate pearls and chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything and keep it aside.
2

Take bread. You can take any bread here, be it white or brown or multigrain. But, to be honest, white bread suits this recipe the best. First of all, trim the edges of the bread.
3

Keep a bowl of water. Take one slice of bread, dip it in the water and squeeze all water by pressing it between your palms.
4

Keep 1 or 2 tablespoons of filling in the squeezed bread and close it. Shape it round by pressing between your hands. Just like you make bread rolls. But see that you give it a round shape and not oval.
Make all the vadas like this.
5

Using a whisk, smoothen Yoghurt.
Add roasted cumin powder, chat masala and chilli powder. Do not add salt at this stage.
6

In a shallow dish, keep all the stuffed vadas. Pour smoothened Yoghurt over them so that they are fully covered in it. Keep this and the leftover Yoghurt in the refrigerator.
Do not serve it immediately.
7

Now comes the trick. Let it be like this at least for a few hours in the refrigerator. You can even keep like this up to a day. The trick is that in this resting time, bread absorbs Yoghurt very well and thus does not taste raw at all.
8

At the time of serving, add salt in the prepared Yoghurt and put it over these. Then little tamarind or dried mango powder chutney, little green coriander chutney.
Serve with love, food optional.
