Bread dahi vada is the thing that is happening right now here. Is this not the most perfect evening snack on any sunny day? Yes it is. Because you have most comforting yogurt in it. Above all, you can whip up this awesomeness instantly. This no-cook(or min-cook), extremely easy and instant snack wonder can come very handy during snack-emergencies of any kind (assuming a loaf of fresh bread and big container of yogurt lie in your pantry already). Instant version of any recipe excites me like no other because less cooking, less time in kitchen is good sometimes. I am having a flashback to the dahi vada and remembering how much we love comforting snacks together.
Bread slices immersed in several litres of whisked yogurt seem very bland. You guys second on that? I tried to make the snack little more interesting and healthy. The magic things like cashew pieces, raisins and ginger gratings are tucked in between bread roundels. It gives much required crunch and yummy flavors in your mouth.
The toppings over the bread dahi vada are just endless. You can wear a good innovation cap on your head to make the snack extremely scrumptious. While the sweet tamarind chutney and spicy green chutney help to balance the bland-ness of yogurt, the toppings like kara boondi, nylon sev and even pomegranate seeds take the snack to another world of palate.
As the title of the post says, bread dahi vada is instant. Meaning you can prepare it instantly and you need to eat instantly too. No resting time please. The snack cannot wait on table for someone to eat it. That is because bread slices become too mushy and taste weird absorbing lots of liquid. So keep all the stuff ready and serve instantly by pouring whisked yogurt and toppings on each serving plate.
