Today's recipe is something I wanted to post before the weather completely changes to winter.Actually I wanted to post this during Ramadan.Though I made this many times during Ramadan didn’t try taking a pic of the same during that month.
This is best served during summer,as the yogurt gives that cool effect on our body.In the Middle Eastern parts during Ramadan yogurt is a must for many at the Iftar time.
I had this 1st at a friend's house,who is one among our Tajweed class group.She stays near my Co Sister's house.So every time we meet she invites me to her house.On one such visit to my co sister's house we (me and other two relatives who are also her mates) visited her.Seeing us she wanted to prepare something to treat us but I told her we would be leaving within 5 minutes and just stopped for her invitation.But she was like she wouldn't let us go without having anything.She said she would prepare something very quickly and was taking out bread and yogurt.May be seeing our face as to what she would do quickly with bread and yogurt ,she said it would get ready in just 5 minutes and there was no cooking;and so we waited.And she quickly put in all the ingredients and then did a tadka and prepared this.From far it looked like a pudding slice garnished with something green but then it was this Bread Dahi Vada which tasted yummy.May be this would please those who like that mixed taste.Sweet and spicy along with a little sourness.Already I am a fan of this Dahi Vada ,so I had no issues with this too.Also I made some variations to suit my family's taste
Now on to the recipe:
Ingredients
Bread slices(medium size) 3-4
Yogurt 3/4 cup
Water 3 tbsp
Sugar 2-3 tsp
Salt 1/4 tsp
Cumin powder 1/2 tsp
Chat Masala powder 1/4 tsp
Green chilly 2 slit
Oil 1 tsp
Mustard seeds 1/4 tsp
Split Black gram/Urad dal 1 tsp
Dry red chilly 1
Curry leaves a few
Coriander leaves(finely chopped) 1/4 cup
Method
-Trim the edges of the bread slices and keep aside.
-In a bowl add the yogurt,salt,sugar,water,cumin powder,chat masala powder.Mix well using a whisk.If you want you can add one finely chopped chilly or red chilly powder for more spice,but I didn't add.
-Now take one bread slice and quickly dip both sides in the yogurt and place it on a serving plate.Next take another slice repeat the same way and place it on top of the previous bread.Now repeat it the same way with the other slices also.
-Heat a frying pan.Add oil and when the oil turns hot add the mustard seeds,then the urad dal,green chillies,Curry leaves and the dried red chilly.When the urad dal turns golden brown pour this over the set yogurt-bread slices.
-Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves and before serving you can cut it into halves and serve.
