7. Take some slice of bread and grind them in a jar. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl.
8. Add some fine semolina (optional).
9. Take some dahi and add to the crumbs, mix everything well. Use 'khatta dahi' if you like that lovely fermented taste.
10. Mix till you get a nice batter. Add water if required. Add salt and keep the batter slightly thick.
11. Add all the veggies you fried to your batter. Mix everything well.
12. Take a pan, grease it with oil, butter or ghee.
13. Take a big spoon and drop the batter on to the pan. Spread it out in circular motion.
