East Indian Varias - Urad Dal Bread
Varias also know as Orias are often made during and East Indian wedding. These along with fugias are served as bread with all the wedding food. In fact, an East Indian wedding is incomplete with the presence of fugias and varias.
The batter is made with urad dal (black gram) flour and all-purpose flour combined with yeast which is then fermented overnight. The soft fermented dough is then formed into small donuts with a hole in the middle and deep-fried until golden brown.
