Medu Vada Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup – Urad ki Dal
700 gm – Cooking Oil
2 teaspoons – Rice Flour
1 teaspoon – Cumin Seeds
1/2 teaspoon – Black Paper (crushed)
10 – Curry leaves
2 Pinch – Asafoetida
1/2 teaspoon – Salt (as per taste)
2 – Green Chili (chopped)
2 tablespoons – Green Coriander Leaves (chopped

Medu Vada Recipe Instructions:

Step 1

First, soak urad dal in 5 cups of water for two hours, and wash it thoroughly in water once or twice before soaking. After 2 hours, make a fine paste by sprinkling a little water in a mixer grinder to the soaked dal, remember not to add too much water. Take out the paste in a large bowl.
Step 2

Now, with your hands, drive the batter clockwise in a circular motion in the same direction for 5 minutes. This will fill the batter with air, causing it to swell and become lighter. To see if our batter has become perfect, we will pour half a teaspoon of batter into a bowl with water. If the batter floats to the top, it means that our batter is perfect.
Step 3

Now we will put rice flour, asafoetida, crushed black pepper, salt, cumin seeds, and green chili inside our batter after breaking the curry leaves add chopped coriander leaves and mix it well. Now we will put a pan on top of the flame and add cooking oil to it, when the cooking oil becomes hot, the flame will be medium.

Step 4

keep some water in a bowl with you. Wet your palm with water and place a large lemon-sized batter on your palm, make a hole in the center with the help of a thumb take the donut on the fingers of the other hand, and gently drop it into the pan.
Step 5

If you are having any difficulty in making a donut with your palm, then you can take a banana leaf or a pinni, make a donut on top of it in the same way, and put it carefully in the cooking oil. Wet the surface of the banana leaf or pinni with water before making donuts.
Step 6

Put as many donuts as you can in the pan, do not put more. The oil should not exceed 190 degrees Celsius (375F), or fall below 175 degrees Celsius (350F). Keep in mind that flame if it is more then the donut will be fried quickly, it will not fry from inside and if there is a recession flame then oil will be filled inside the donut, so it is very important to have a perfect flame.
Step 7
Once the Medu vada is crisp and golden, then remove it with a slotted spoon to drain the extra oil. Fry the rest of the vada in the same manner. Take out the donut carefully and place it on kitchen paper to remove the extra oil. Now our Medu Vada Recipe is ready, soak it in hot samber and Coconut Chutney and serve it. We have given the method of preparing Samber in our Samber Masala Dosa recipe, whose link we are giving below.

Tips And Notes

1 – Rice flour must be mixed in donut paste, by doing this donuts become crispy from the outside, and some people do not mix it.
2 – While grinding urad dal in a mixer grinder, do not add extra water to it at all, by doing this your donuts will not become good and their perfect shape will not come.
3 – If for some reason your paste becomes thin by mixing water, then add rice flour later, by doing this the paste will be perfect.
4 – Asafoetida Always use good quality as the asafoetida flavor brings out the best in the recipe.
