If you are new to the Indian cuisine and wondering what is vada? Vada is a popular South Indian fritter usually made with lentils. Thanks to the leftover bread here! It helps us make these vadas without having to soak and grind the lentils to make the batter. These bread vada are the instant kind and are similar to Maddur vada and Rava Vada. But here we use bread as the main ingredient. So next time you have some left over slices of bread, try out this recipe. You can also make the dough ahead and use it when you are ready to serve. Here I have not used potatoes and went ahead with carrots and onions. On occasions I add a small boiled potato, spinach or some coarsely crushed sweet corn to make the dough. I have used multigrain bread, in fact you can use any that you have including white bread. Rice flour goes well in this recipe as it adds some crispness to the bread vada. You may use cornstarch if you do not have rice flour. Making these in the air fryer is even faster and you know why if you have been using one.
