Bread vada recipe – A quick snack recipe you can make with any kind of bread. These mixed vegetable bread vada can be made for an evening snack. These are very quick to make anytime since these are a instant snack which needs no soaking and no blending or grinding. First time I made these a few months ago when I had some unexpected guests home and everyone liked these.
We at home usually do not prefer to make fried snacks using bread but my kids keep asking me for these bread vada. I made these on a weekend with just 3 slices of bread which was left over after making sandwiches.
To make bread vada, white bread, milk or multi grain bread are good choices. The taste of the vada depends on the kind of bread used. Avoid using seeded breads or sprouted flour breads.
The key ingredients that add flavor to these is the garam masala, mint and coriander leaves, so do not skip them. I have used carrots and onions, you can also use blanched cabbage, boiled potatoes, mashed peas etc.
These bread vada can be eaten alone with Masala tea or can be had with a Green chutney or Schezwan sauce or tomato ketchup.

Hi Swasthi,
Can we bake the bread vada instead of deep frying?
Hi Anusha
Rice flour won’t cook well if baked. So use finely powdered poha or powdered roasted gram (roasted chana dal). Brush the vadas with oil and bake at 360 F for 8 to 9 mins. Adjust the timings depending on the size and thickness.
Thank you??
Welcome Zahera
