Ingredients  


10 bread slice ( i used large one )

For Filling

1 tablespoon Raisins chopped
1 tablespoon Cashew nuts chopped
1/2 tablespoon fresh coriander chopped
( you can use any nuts of your  choice   )

For Serving
1 cup thick Yogurt
1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
2 tablespoon sweet tamarind chutney
1 tablespoon
Chopped green coriander
1 teaspoon Chili powder
1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder

method

first of all cut and remove the all brown sides of the bread slices and keep it aside mean while,in a bowl whisk chilled yogurt add water if requied , salt and sugar in the curd and mix well .(Add water according tothickness of the curd ,it should neither be very thin nor very thick)
in small mixing bowl mix all filling ingredients
now take a slice of bread and dip it in a plate filled with water, just let the bread absorb the water. it should get damp but not overly. otherwise the bread slice breaks. the idea is to make the bread moist enough so that it becomes pretty flexible which would make the rolling and shaping easier… on similar lines like a pastry dough (though pastry dough is very easy than a soaked drained bread).  press the bread between your palms so that the excess water is drained,place some filling roll on on bread slice roll the bread and join the edges.Plating place the Bread vada  on the plate, drizzle some curd. Top with sweet tamarind chutney Garnish with jeera powder,red chili powder ,  and  green coriander . Enjoy Serve immediately
