Medu vada urad dal vada

Wash and soak dal in about 3 cups of water for about 2-3 hours.

Drain all the water from soaked dal. grind urad dal to smooth paste using very little water. I have used authentic grinding stone.

The batter should be thick and use very little water. the right consistency is very important or otherwise, you will not be able to get the vada shape.

Add coriander, green chilli, gingerto the batter. mix it very well.

Also add pinch of hing to make it more digestible.

Heat the oil in a frying pan in medium flame. wet your palms and take a lemon size batter.

Make hole in the center and slide it into the hot oil.

Make hole in the center and slide it into the hot oil.

The vada should float on top of oil

Make sure your oil is not too hot. otherwise the vadas would not cook evenly.

Fry vada from both sides become golden brown.

Ready medu vada serve with coconut chutney.
