Medu Vadas

Soak dal and rice overnight for best results. Grind to a smooth paste using as little water as possible. It should be a thick one yet smooth. Add salt and other ingredients to it.

Mix well and shape into vadas either on a banana leaf or in your palms directly and slowly slide into the hot oil. Deep fry on medium high heat until golden and crisp. Serve hot with coconut chutney alongside. These make for an excellent option at tea-time.
